The high school did add a gender-neutral bathroom after the district's pledge in 2017, but the school community says the bathroom is locked and inaccessible, and students are not provided with an alternative that feels safe.
Public schools across California will be required to have gender-neutral bathrooms as early as July 2026, thanks to Senate Bill 760, which passed in September.
Despite good intentions, trans and nonbinary students continue to struggle to feel welcome and have their own safe spaces on school campuses.
The discussion around gender neutral bathrooms and locker rooms at the high school began after a transgender student's recent negative experience with changing for physical education class caused them to leave the high school just two weeks after starting.
