Skipping lives on despite closed campus policy

This is the first year since 2003 that Countryside High School has provided lunch in the middle of the day. There are two lunches that students get to sit around, talk with friends, or get some work done during the 35 minute period.

As a result of the new lunch schedule, a strict closed campus rule has come into play. In previous years, students were allowed to go outside during break; however, this year everyone must stay indoors. To ensure this, administrators stand in front of the main entrances of the school.

Although the rule may be set into place, it is not followed or respected. Students are often seen walking to their cars or off campus during lunch. Mr. Schlereth attempts to stop them, but as soon as he leaves, the students swarm back outside. In addition, Angelo talks to the students outside, rather than sending them back indoors.

“I know that a group of students leave school before Angelo gets out. They get food with friends. Three cars go to McDonalds regularly”, said senior, Matin Norazzi.

Why is it that there is a strict closed campus rule during lunch, but students are still seen walking in and out of the building throughout the day? From first to seventh period,

There needs to be structure. The cops and Mr. Angelo are ineffective, and if the rules are to be followed, then students need to face the consequences. Otherwise, the rule should be loosened so students can go outside or leave campus.

Since CHS is an all indoor school, it seems unfair not to allow students to go outdoors. Students need fresh air, especially with the tar-like fumes created from the roof construction lingering throughout the school.

Administration needs to decide whether or not they want to enforce or get rid of the new closed campus rule. Students get anxious cooped up indoors all day. This was a big change and everyone needs to accept it, or things allphotostakenby:BrianaDilworth
