Why this petition matters

Started by Nevaeh Lopez

During the 2021-2022 school year, we have noticed an incline in the amount of time that our bathrooms are locked. Originally, bathrooms were supposed to be locked during the last ten minutes of class, transition time, and the first ten minutes of the next class. This rule was put in place to prevent skipping, but this is a 25 minute window where students have to suffer not being able to go to the bathroom. As the year went on, we noticed sometimes admin would forget to unlock bathrooms, and students were left without access to bathrooms. Now, during the month of late March-Early April, it’s rare to find a bathroom during any point of the day that is unlocked. This is wrong, and goes against basic human rights of using the bathroom whenever we need to. We shouldn’t have to waste time during class searching all four floors of the school for an unlocked bathroom, all bathrooms everywhere should be consistently accessible to ALL students. (This includes the two gender neutral bathrooms, that are always locked.) While skipping, vaping and smoking in bathrooms are a huge issue in the school, other students shouldn’t have to suffer because of this. Being able to use the bathroom isn’t a privilege, it’s a nessecity. And if the faculty at school care enough about students, they’ll treat us like humans and leave the bathrooms unlocked and accessible!
