Information reported to the Department indicated that on 10/29/2024, student restrooms stopped working. One adult restroom was available for use, students were using elementary school restrooms, and portable restrooms were delivered for use until the Office of Environmental Health and Safety (OEHS), a department with in the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), cleared the restrooms for use.
During today's inspection of the facility, LPA observed restrooms to be operable but inaccessible due to drains located in the restrooms identified as Tots, Girls, and Boys, that had water flowing back up from the drains. The Tots restroom has 3 toilets and 2 sinks that were inaccessible. The Girls restroom has 2 toilets and 2 sinks that were inaccessible. The Boys restroom had 1 toilet, 2 urinals, and 2 sinks that were inaccessible. Per LAUSD policy, the Principal did not have the authority to close the facility during repairs. Closure of the facility is only at the discretion of the Superintendent.
Regulation 101239(h) states based on the total licensed capacity, one toilet and one handwashing fixture shall be maintained for every 15 children. The facility is licensed for a capacity of 115 children. The facility had 2 portable toilets and 2 portable sinks accessible outdoors for children to use. The portable toilets and portable sinks were located on the property of the elementary school next to the fence that separates the licensed facility from the elementary school. ---Page 1 of 3 |
