[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even the Human Rights Campaign, one of the biggest advocates for LGBTQ, recommended the following privacy enhancement for transgender accommodation.  But the SB decided that the current FCPS school facilities are good as is for the new regulation.

[b]Privacy in Restrooms[/b]

Users of multiple-occupant restrooms might appreciate the following privacy enhancements:

[list]Install flaps on the outer edge of stall doors to cover the gap between the door and the stall wall.[/list]
[list]Extend stall doors and walls from floor to ceiling.[/list]
[list]Extend privacy dividers between urinals further out from the wall, and to a higher level.[/list]

[b]Locker Rooms[/b]

Ensure private shower and changing areas in locker rooms and other facilities using stalls or curtains. If this is not possible, provide alternative accommodations that maintain respect and dignity, such as:

[list]use of a private area within the public area, such as a shower stall with a door or an area separated by a curtain;[/list]
[list]a separate changing schedule in the public area; or[/list]
[list]use of a nearby private area, such as a restroom. [/list]

so you expect an already financially stretched-thin school district to make these changes in every school?  would the Feds pay for it?  I am assuming it would take resources (a teacher/admin) to retro-fit each school and come up with these schedules.  How much would all this cost?  serious question.[/quote]
