Some of the issues with the restrooms are missing stall doors, broken locks, rusted and cracked components, slanderous graffiti, and an absence of mirrors. These issues are problematic and should be addressed hastily for multiple reasons. The first reason being that having dysfunctional and poor quality restrooms causes an unnecessary waste of time for both students and staff members. This issue is especially problematic for students because students are given a limited amount of time in transition periods to use the restrooms and when the restrooms are faulty this causes them to search out a usable restroom.
