Unlock School Bathrooms at Bethesda Chevy Chase High School


Unlock School Bathrooms at Bethesda Chevy Chase High School
The Issue
I am a student at BCC High School and I have experienced firsthand the inconvenience of locked school restrooms. Many times throughout the day, my peers and I need to use the restroom but are unable to do so because they are locked.
Further reading: Montgomery County Code part II chapter 44 Article III section 44-37(c) institutes regulations on the number of bathrooms provided in school facilities. Under these regulations, either a) at least 2 urinals and 1 toilet per 100 males, or b) at least 1 toilet per 35 males, must be provided. Additionally, at least 1 toilet per 45 females must be provided. Because all of the restrooms above the first floor are locked during lunch, the school falls far short of these requirements.
Please sign this petition to open the restrooms
