The assistant manager of Subway felt that there is no inconvenience caused by open campus. She stated that they enjoyed having students and, without their patronage, their business would suffer. If there was something to be done to prevent vandalism or traffic, she suggested to split up the lunch period. Combining all the information we received from local businesses was a challenge. If closed campus was in effect, some suggest that the Oconto Falls School lunch program would have to improve to compensate for the amount of students no longer able to leave.
Most businesses seem to have no complaints regarding student behavior.
For those who do, we as students have to prove ourselves worthy of open campus. Ultimately, the decision comes down to the School Board. There are many opportunities we as students can grab hold of to prove ourselves to others in the community. One occasion is the Oconto Falls High School Coat Drive. The entire high school pulled together in the effort to provide the community's needy children with coats and hats for the winter.
