Restroom Sign-In Policy

By Natalie Vasquez, Staff Writer | October 23


A new sign-in policy was enforced recently at Carson Complex. But why? The staff has made reassurances that suggest that the policy is for student safety, but some students don't see it that way.


Carson High School senior Ariana Beccera said, “It's affecting me because I'm standing in the long line when I could've used the bathroom and been in class.”


Now, with the sign-in sheet, students have no choice but to stand in line while still expected to be in class on time.


A survey taken by 173 students who attend CHS, Academy of Medical Arts, and the Academies of Education and Empowerment, revealed that 88% of students find that the line caused by the sign-in sheet affects their class and learning time.


72% of the students surveyed find that the bathroom sign-in process is inconvenient.


CHS senior Francisco Bravo said, “It's honestly too many steps.”


Having to do extra steps causes essential time to be wasted.


There is no denying that there is a minority of the student population who will abuse a restroom pass and use it for ulterior motives.


“I kinda think it's working because I haven't heard too many fire alarms go off,” said CHS senior Daniel Hernandez.


Still, there are others who are trying to use it for its purpose and who will just go to class directly afterward. This is why other monitoring efforts were more accepted by the student population.


Senior Brianna Gutierrez said, “When they used the Hero app, it seemed better because there were no lines, [and] we just used the bathroom.”


Hero was a great and fast way to keep track of who was in the restrooms and what times they were out. It was convenient for teachers, staff, and students because there was no extra wait time or being out of class for too long.


The use of the Hero app seems to be a better alternative and a happy medium for the safety of the students while being reasonable and fair.
