In this highschool, the LGBT+ community faces many hardships. Many are cultural: open homophobia, dismissive staff, and bullying. The transgender crowd, being the most exposed of the community, often takes the brunt of it. However, they also face a systematic injustice. One which encourages bullying and alienates this marginalized group.

The concerned parents, friends, and students of Rowan County Senior High School seek the implementation of a transgender restroom. A restroom that would ease the concerns of nonsupportive staff and students and protect transgender students from harassment within a place where we all expect privacy and decency.

We ask the Rowan County Board of Education to establish the construction of a new restroom or the modification of a current one if necessary. We ask this for the safety and well-being of our students, children, and friends.
