In reply to the discussion: Steel Valley SD School Board try to deflect blame to teachers after the removal of SpecEd restroom. [View all]greatlaurel
(2,020 posts)No one can get elected to the school board unless they belong to one of the local right wing churches, are a minister, a right wing loon, or a local business person, usually some combination of those choices. The board members go along with whatever will make their business partners or relatives money. It has gotten much better, but there are still serious problems. Last fall a new member was elected who has no education background whatever, but his boys are really good athletes!
I thought the same thing as you about the teacher's restroom. Notice the administrator was only allowing this child to use the restroom. The special needs kids who have to wear diapers must get carted upstairs to get changed since the administration removed the accessible restroom for the classroom. How horrible for the kids and the staff. If the faculty restroom has more than one stall, which is unlikely, the staff would not be able to use it because adults are not allowed into a restroom with a child. Learned that in a volunteer training class very recently. I am sure that is the guidance nationwide, now, especially after the Sandusky case.
