Readers debate School lunch delivery ban and Vender lawsuit
Dr. Fishbein has been the voice of reason. The Village is lucky to have him working for it. Pick up the sammies on your way to school and bring them with you. There are lots of prepared luncheon items available at many delis, supermarkets or breakfast shops if you don’t want to make your own and don’t want to eat the school’s food. Why should the admin. staff have to be involved? The deliveries are disruptive and the staff has real work to do. Absolutely ridiculous on its own and allowing this could create a breach of security….
What an embarrassment these cry-baby plaintiffs are to Ridgewood. An absolute disgrace. You can still have your kids lunches made by these vendors, you just cannot use school resources in the delivery phase. Let’s hope this gets dismissed.
Hope they are proud of themselves using a tremendous amount of school funding defending their right to sit on their asses and negate their basic parental responsibility to provide food onto a business. Yeah for them!!!!
And to the businesses . . . you just lost my business and that of most of my neighbors. Good luck to you. This lawsuit has not basis; the BOE was willing to let you deliver but not if it used school resources. They asked you to come up with an acceptable plan. You could not. Cut your losses now….
There were no school resources used except to let the delivery people in…Fishbein is and always has been a nervous nellie who runs around crying safety every time he doesn’t like something.
Fishbein kept changing his story and the bottom line is that if a parent wants to have his kids lunch delivered, who the hell are you to mandate a wonder bread sandwich in a brown bag.
I am sure they can find a solution, but again there were precious little school resources used and that is a fact….
There were most certainly school resources used for lunch distribution. I witnessed it firsthand many times. Office areas piled high with delivered lunches, kids showing up to pick up their lunches only to find out they weren’t there or their order was wrong and turning to the office staff t straighten it out for them. Plenty of time and effort given by the office staff to these delivered lunches.
And the vendors were asked to come up with a plan but I guess they were too busy making money with their precious little resources.
Get off your ass, and either make/pack your kids lunch or buy/pack your kids lunch. You see, they can have their Parkwood anytime they want; it’s up to you if they get it or not. Oh, I’m sorry, is that too much responsibility for you to assume?….
