**JLBC Cadet Corps Locker Room and Restroom Policy: Massachusetts Perspective**


The JLBC Cadet Corps is steadfast in its commitment to the safety, privacy, and comfort of every student in Massachusetts. Recognizing some students' challenges and concerns when using restrooms and locker rooms, we have laid down clear guidelines to promote inclusivity, dignity, and security.


**1. Student Safety:**

At the forefront of our policy is the safety of every student. We understand that students may have concerns about their privacy when using restrooms. To address this, any student who needs greater privacy, irrespective of the reason, has the right to access a single-user restroom.


**2. Restroom Use According to Gender Identity:**

Every student deserves respect for their identity. Hence, students should be granted access to restrooms that align with their gender identity. This practice fosters an environment of acceptance and combats discrimination.


**3. Alternative Options:**

While we encourage students to use restrooms corresponding to their gender identity, we also understand the importance of providing alternative options. An all-gender or single-user restroom, such as a staff bathroom or the nurse's office, will be available to any student requesting such a request. These alternatives ensure every student feels comfortable and catered to without feeling singled out.


**4. Gender-neutral Facilities:**

These facilities often present the most inclusive solution. It is important to note that while gender-neutral facilities are ideal for a wide range of students, including transgender students, our policy also respects the current interpretation of federal civil rights laws. These laws protect the right of transgender students to use restrooms that align with their gender identity.


**5. Clear Behavioral Expectations and Supervision:**

We have established clear behavioral expectations for all students to maintain safety and respect in these spaces. Proper supervision will be implemented to ensure these standards are upheld. Any form of bullying, discrimination, or inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated, and strict actions will be taken against those who violate these norms.


**6. Policy Enforcement:**

By working together with school management, teachers, and students, we aim to enforce these policies effectively. Regular checks, feedback systems, and communication channels will be in place to ensure that the JLBC Cadet Corps restroom and locker room policies are adhered to.


**Conclusion:**

The JLBC Cadet Corps strives to create an inclusive environment where every student feels safe and respected. By providing various restroom options, respecting every student's gender identity, and maintaining a high level of safety and supervision, we aim to make restrooms and locker rooms in Massachusetts a haven of comfort and security for all.
