Anyone with eyes can see that Lunch 2 is packed with more students than the rest. Administration knows and yet nothing has been done to solve the problem.

Lunch 1 has 415 students, and lunch 3 only has 314. Lunch 2, however, has 752 students assigned to it, over double the other lunches combined. 752 hungry students in only 2 lunch rooms. It’s a miracle anyone can find space to walk with all those students moving through the overcrowded room at once.

The bell that releases students to lunch 2 sounds at 11:33, and students are dismissed at 12:02. That leaves twenty nine minutes for all those students to cram themselves into the lunch rooms and attempt to get through the lunch lines as quickly as possible.

The situation only gets worse as all those students get released at the same time. Everyone tries to leave the room at once. This coincides with students that have 1^st lunch moving to 5^th period, therefore approximately 1167 students all trying to move through the same hallway, going in conflicting directions.

When asked, administration will not comment to what created this situation.

So we must ask administration: Was there no other way to schedule students into other lunch periods? Can anything be done now to alleviate this frustrating situation?
