Explaining her decision to parents via a letter, Travis Early College High School principal Christina Steele Hantgin said 90 per cent of the school’s drug offenses were taking place in the restrooms and since removing the doors, the incidents have stopped entirely,“We have had multiple significant behavioural events along with other student code of conduct violations that have taken place in our restrooms already this year.

The school’s Parent Teacher Student Association president Myrna Ruvalcaba said the bathroom doors were removed on Nov 4, and parents were only informed of the matter a week later.“At our PTSA meeting on Thursday we did have a few students that spoke with the principal and told them that they felt uncomfortable with the decision.”
