Summary

A student board member reported ongoing problems with high-school bathrooms — cleanliness, smoking and access timing — and urged action; they also proposed expanding student representation on the board to two members so a returning underclassman could provide continuity.

During the student-board-members report, the student said bathroom conditions at the high school have declined recently and described problems including smoking, locked stalls that force students to search for alternatives, and SmartPass timing that can make it impractical to reach an alternate bathroom in the allotted five minutes.

The student urged the board and administrators to consider steps to address the recurring issues and proposed changing the student-representative program from one one-year seat to a two-member model (for example a junior and a senior) so the longer-serving underclassman could provide continuity and institutional memory. The student said the single-year term limits the ability of student representatives to pursue longer-term changes.
