Speaker raises lack of sinks and functioning bathrooms at day school, and flags heavy technology use
Summary
A meeting speaker said the day school lacks sinks in classrooms and functioning bathrooms and argued those shortcomings affect learners; the speaker also said "spending 4 hours a day on technology" equals "3 months of your life," and referenced an unspecified $1.2 million item.
A member of the Massachusetts Commission for LGBTQ Youth said they "dream of having a sink in every classroom," and added that the day school currently does not have sinks or fully functioning bathrooms. "Really truly it's not just about aesthetics, but how it's going to function for our learners," the speaker said.
The speaker also stated, "if you spend 4 hours a day on technology, that's 3 months of your life," then directed a joking aside to another participant named Jenny. Later the speaker referenced "the other piece of the $1.2 million" but did not specify what the amount referred to or how it would be allocated.
