A student must be accompanied by an adult when they use the bathroom. Some restrooms stay locked during classroom hours.
Erin Maloney is Hillsborough School District public relations director. She explained, "Students leave class, whether it's to vape, whether it's to fight, whether it's just to talk with friends and we want to minimize that. So the principal has closed certain bathrooms because there's simply not enough oversight in certain parts of the building to where we're confident that students won't be using the bathrooms for the wrong reason."
Parents and students are concerned because this could mean long waits and unavailable bathrooms for the kids.
Aanya Patel is a student at Hillsborough and she said, "Administration had to walk you to the bathroom and a lot of times because they have other jobs to do they didn't end up coming."
