Overview

• The school removed exterior doors from most multi-stall restrooms, leaving stall doors in place and keeping single-stall gender-neutral bathrooms unchanged.
• Officials said the design change follows CPTED guidance after reports last year of vaping, cutting class, fighting and gambling in restrooms.
• Campus Safety reported fewer student crowds in bathrooms during the first three weeks of school.
• A Change.org petition launched by junior Laila Rosenthal neared 400 signatures by Tuesday, with plans to present it to school leaders at 500.
• Students voiced mixed reactions, including privacy and safety worries, accounts of behavior shifting to locker rooms, and some support noting reduced vaping.
