[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is currently a junior at Northwood High School. He is saying that very few bathrooms are ever open at the school, and the ones that are open, are often crowded with students vaping, gambling, etc. He once heard a story about a student who had a trash can thrown at them while they were in a stall. This doesn’t sound like a safe environment. Almost all the bathrooms are closed during lunch. He has other friends (boys and girls) who have the same problem. When will this change?[/quote]

From Dr. Garrick: "Effective Tuesday, February 18, 2025, all second and third floor student bathrooms, except for the student activities center (3302/3304), media center (2502/2503), and all gender-neutral facilities, will be closed during the lunch period and reopened at 5th period. All restrooms on the first and ground floors will remain open. This change is being made to assist our building service in the afternoon cleaning schedule and effective monitoring."

During lunch, there still should be bathrooms on every floor open to students. Occasionally security will have to lock a restroom outside of lunch if there's a concern, they're checking security footage due to vandalism or smoking, or if it needs time to "air out."

I don't doubt what your son has seen/heard. There's a large group of students who refuse to go to class that get chased around the building and end up "hiding" in the bathroom with their friends. [/quote]
