Hence, the title of this thread is secondary schools bathroom - grades 6-12.

Wheaton HS has this issue.

Here's a running list:

Kennedy
Wheaton
Quince Orchard
Richard Montgomery
B-CC
Whitman
Paint Branch

Add WJ.

We get it. A minority of HS have toilet issues.

You have zero evidence that it is a "minority" of HS as you claim. What is your issue?

Exactly! There's no evidence this is a widespread problem.

but tt seems to be a problem at a handful of schools

9 schools and counting is a "handful" to you?

Now we're up to 10 schools. Hey "handful of schools" poster, what number is sufficient for you to recognize it's a systemic issue?

? because you aren't the one searching for a bathroom to use.

RMHS had almost all the bathrooms on the 2nd and 3rd fl locked. They have a daily spreadsheet of which bathrooms are open. Ridiculous.

My kids go to one of the listed schools and say finding an unlocked one is easy.

Walking around school trying to find a bathroom that is usable is not a safe school and violates a human's basic right. This is the United States of America. Simply despicable if this issue cannot be resolved and fast.

Have any parents called the police to come to the school to mitigate bathrooms? Did the police show up? If MCPS does not handle it, any of you try the police? Based on what some of you are describing, it seems the role of the SROs is needed in schools even if only for bathrooms - correct assessment?

Even if bathroom monitoring fell into the responsibility of the SRO, how would one position monitor numerous bathrooms in schools serving 1,800-2,200 kids? That math doesn't add up.

The police won't show up for actual crimes. Why would they show up for this?

Magruder has had some locked bathrooms even before the pandemic. They have closed a few others after issues but then reopen them as far as students tell me.

They could create a whole new MCPD department specializing in public bathroom safety!!
