Juul settlement: The rundown: Palm Beach County schools to get $10M settlement with Juul e-cigarette maker More from the education desk: Survey: Even before recent spikes, most Palm Beach County teachers worried about housing costs "To be clear, NO student will be prevented from using the restroom when needed," Hatcher wrote in a note home to parents of the school's 2,264 students. "We feel that we are enhancing safety by monitoring and providing supervision during times when students would normally be in class." "Controlling access to student restrooms is a proactive measure," Hatcher wrote in a statement to The Palm Beach Post. School bathrooms have long been spaces difficult to patrol where the need for privacy also created a space for easy mischief from smoking cigarettes and writing on walls to more recent destruction of bathroom fixtures as part of a viral 2021 TikTok challenge. The new policy also allows no more than four students in the bathroom at a time. It's not clear where that information is stored, or whether school administrators will be able to track which students use which bathrooms. The teacher will submit an online form that shows the student used the bathroom. The teacher will be able to review any items they're bringing into the bathroom, such as tampons or makeup. Under the new policy, teachers will be stationed outside certain restrooms during class time with a laptop and a student ID scanner.īefore entering, students must scan their ID with the teacher and leave their backpack outside. The restrooms now have locking doors instead of open entrances like those often found in airports, where a walled hallway provides privacy. Hatcher said in a note to parents that the change is intended to improve how the staff monitors student bathrooms after they were renovated. Seminole Ridge High School students will need to scan their ID with a teacher and leave their backpack behind when they use the bathrooms during class time, according to a new policy announced by principal Robert Hatcher.
