This article calls for gender-neutral bathrooms as a remedy. The gender-neutral "2018 IBC 2902.1.2 Single-user toilet and bathing room fixtures" code is ideal. All restroom and bathing room toilets (including the <g class="gr_ gr_1552 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" id="1552" data-gr-id="1552">accessibles</g>) now count toward the required fixture counts for all occupancies.
The attached sketch shows an example of a 650 student classroom addition applying this code - including the bathing room toilets in total fixture counts. One toilet fixture is required per student per Table 2902.1. 13 toilets X 50 student/toilet = 650 students.
Notice how small a footprint is needed when clustered like this - even with 50% accessible per Section 1109.2, Exception 3. If not clustered, all must be accessible per the first sentence of Section 1109.2.
A corridor security camera can monitor who enters and leaves each room. The southeast or the southwest classroom could instead be the administrative office with a window wall facing the corridor for more control. County school districts, alternative means <g class="gr_ gr_1725 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Punctuation only-ins replaceWithoutSep" id="1725" data-gr-id="1725">and</g> methods or variances and modifications can allow this code in advance.

Researcher: LGBTQ victims of bullying suffer academically |
LGBTQ youth, particularly in the Midwest, suffer higher rates of bullying than their straight peers, which researchers say can have long-term negative effects on their academics. Because bullying can lower self-esteem and discourage students from coming to school or engaging with peers, learning suffers. |
