Student representatives report activities; peer raises bathroom safety and vandalism concerns
Summary
Student reps summarized school events, athletics and fundraisers; a student relayed concerns that locked 'dungeon' bathrooms (closed over drug use and vandalism) remain problematic and proposed murals, student hearings and vape detectors as remedies.
Multiple student representatives briefed the board on school activities, athletics results and upcoming spirit events. Reports included Burgerville fundraisers, choir concerts, Winter Spirit Week plans, canned food drives benefitting the Salvation Army and athletics results across football, soccer, volleyball and cross country.
A student representative relayed that a peer reported recurring drug use and vandalism in bathrooms identified as the school's 'dungeon' and that simply locking the bathrooms has not solved the problem. The student suggested organizing "Beautify The School" events to paint murals and make the space more appealing, holding student hearings through ASB to gather input and "possibly adding vape detectors" to deter drug use. The board received these comments during the public-comment portion of the meeting; no formal action was recorded at this session.
