Bring back microwaves in STISD
Bring back microwaves in STISD
The Issue
Microwaves should not be removed from school districts because students have different religious, dietary, and health needs that may prevent them from eating the food provided at school. Some students may follow religious dietary restrictions, have food allergies, intolerances, or other health-related dietary needs. Others may simply bring food from home because the school options do not work for them. Having access to a microwave gives students a safe way to heat their meals, rather than being forced to skip lunch or eat something they cannot have. Schools should try to accommodate the different needs of their students, and keeping microwaves available is a simple way to make school lunches more accessible and inclusive for everyone.
