Thanks to the volunteer construction engineers donating their time to draft design privacy-assured, safe mixed-gender bathrooms and showers.
I agree with their personal consensus that the best solution is no.
However, should mixed gender in sports and bathrooms be sadly supported or pursued, what would it cost to lessen student safety with mixed bathrooms?
Roughly $160-$200 per square foot per each bathroom or shower. I believe that is D38 cost prohibitive without a bond to finance remodel across PRHS, LPHS, LPMS, HSA & Transitions facilities, and the new CIC.
I believe student safety is the primary responsibility of D38, and Ginger Schaaf prioritizes student safety overall. She has my grandfather vote.
