Trustees press facilities staff on bathroom cleanliness and maintenance at middle and high schools

Several trustees expressed concern about restroom conditions and cleanliness at Beverly Hills High School and Beverly Vista Middle School, saying some students avoid using school restrooms because stalls lack privacy or supplies are inconsistent.

Trustee Sabag said restrooms are "supposed to be cleaned every day" and stressed the need for consistent restocking of soap, paper towels and toilet paper, functioning dispensers and logging of custodial checks. She said those problems have recurred for years and that some students reduce restroom use because they are uncomfortable.

District staff said site custodial leads keep checklists and that the district uses logs; staff also noted the new custodial services and operations manager will begin July 1 and will be heavily involved in restroom checks and overall cleanliness. Staff agreed to inspect stall doors, update logs and explore digital tracking options such as electronic check‑in systems to replace paper logs.

Ending: Facilities staff said they will inventory restroom conditions, confirm stall doors and locks where needed, and provide trustees an update on custodial checks and any equipment repairs or upgrades scheduled for summer work windows.
