Bill > A1988

Introduced Session

This bill requires school districts to maintain all restrooms in good working order. Under current law, each school district is required to, in part, provide suitable educational facilities for all children who reside in the district and attend the public schools, and for all children living outside of the district who are entitled or permitted to attend the schools of the district pursuant to law. This includes proper school buildings and furniture and equipment and courses of study suited to the ages and attainments of all pupils between the ages of five and 20 years. The bill would amend current law to require school districts, in providing suitable educational facilities, to ensure that all restrooms are maintained in good working order and updated or renovated as needed. Restrooms would be required to be cleaned and sanitized daily and contain the following:· properly functioning toilets and sinks free of leaks or other plumbing issues;· toilet paper holders fully stocked with toilet paper;· stall doors that are able to open, close, and lock while occupied;· properly functioning hand dryers or fully stocked paper towel dispensers;· trash bins to be emptied by maintenance staff at regular intervals; and· menstrual product disposal units to be cleaned and emptied by maintenance staff at regular intervals.
