We already have issues with the instructional lunch being akin to indoor dining. Now we have to deal with breakfast as well. Granted, many principals (including mine) are doing they best to ensure that lunch will actually be eaten outdoors (for as long as we can) but breakfast won't get that status. So, now we have another meal to deal with where staff will be pushed to the back of the room and wearing N95 masks to make sure they feel safe.
Last year my school started participating in a program that provided grab-and-go breakfast meals for students as they entered the building. I'm not sure if it was specifically under this guidance but it is very similar. We had plenty of kids bringing food into their first period class so they could ensure eating food and not being stigmatized by coming to school early and eating in the cafeteria. I was just informed that this program will continue in the 2020-2021 school year.
