Deliveries from Grubhub, Uber Eats and DoorDash have become so frequent and disruptive that many schools have banned them.
"We view it as a safety concern," said Diane Blain, spokeswoman for Chippewa Valley Schools in Michigan's Macomb County."Having strangers and people that we don’t know coming to our buildings with delivery bags, we just don’t allow it."
Some schools have policies explicitly prohibiting it. Others frown on it, but don't formally ban it. All of them say the practice has exploded with cellphone use and the proliferation of delivery services.High school students aren't the only ones who order food deliveries to school, said Jeff Hueter, assistant manager of the Jet's Pizza about a mile north of West Bloomfield High. Some students in elementary school will have pizza delivered for lunch, he said.
Parents typically pay with a credit card or through the Jet's app on their phone. The delivery driver will bring plates and napkins if requested, he said.
