The school lunch interests me because it is an issue that affects me directly. I would be happy if it was both cheaper and more healthy and better tasting. If it is changed then I believe that more people will buy lunch.

My project team was group C, contacting decision makers because I think that it's the fastest way to get something done.

I want the school security to be better to reduce the risk of strangers getting into the school and start trouble. I want less doors to be open and for them to not be open all day. I also want us to practice more safety procedures such as a lockdown. I also want more recycling bins available such as in classrooms to make the environment better.



Possible Solutions

 * Lock all the entrances except for the main one
 * Put recycling in every room
 * Close school after certain hours
 * Security cameras on all the entrances
 * Practice safety protocals

Locking the Doors
It won't completely solve the problem but it is a step into solving the problem. It will probably create a difference right away but it is not the only problem we have. We need to contact the people in charge in order to do this. This solution is feasible as long as the people in charge agree to do it. We won't really gain new skills but we will learn how to contact decision makers to make a solution possible. People don't really care about this issue because it doesn't really affect anyone.
