Board discusses converting single-user restrooms for full access as part of facilities work
Summary
District staff and public commenters discussed proposals to convert selected campus restrooms to single‑user accessible facilities to meet legal requirements; board asked staff to coordinate locations with principals and return with details on signage, locks and staffing implications.
District staff reviewed proposals to create single‑user restroom facilities at several campuses to meet accessibility and compliance requirements. Staff said some campuses have very few single‑user restrooms and suggested locations such as libraries or staff rooms; they warned that some libraries are heavily used which complicates siting and supervision.
Public commenters and staff raised privacy, supervision and operations questions, particularly on whether staff and students would share the same facilities and how to manage use during short passing times at secondary schools. A staff member asked for additional time to consult principals and return to the board with location options and an implementation timeline; the board agreed to defer final decisions until those conversations were complete.
