Restore Student Restroom Access


Restore Student Restroom Access
The Issue
THE PROBLEM
Schools are locking restrooms during class hours
Security often fails to check if students are inside before locking
Students have been trapped in locked bathrooms
Students must wait for someone with a key to use restrooms
WHY THIS MATTERS
Bathroom access is a basic need
This creates health risks for students
This affects all students, especially those with medical conditions
This is a dignity and safety issue
We Demand
Keep student restrooms open during all school hours
If security checks are needed, ensure thorough checks before locking
Provide clear bathroom access policy that respects student needs
Create emergency reporting system for trapped students

Sign this petition to support all Bakersfield students' right to basic bathroom access.
Every student deserves dignity, respect, and access to basic necessities at school.

I care about this because if we don’t have clean bathrooms then we wouldn’t feel comfortable using the restroom
