All single-occupancy bathroom facilities in the District are designated as gender-neutral. Signs designating gender-neutral single-occupancy bathrooms must be posted on the door of that
bathroom facility.
A “single-occupancy bathroom” is as defined in Public Buildings Law §145(d) as “a bathroom
intended for use by no more than one occupant at a time or for family or assisted-use and which
has a door for entry into and egress from the bathroom that may be locked by the occupant to
ensure privacy.”
The Superintendent of Schools or designee is directed to post appropriate signage to implement this policy consistent with applicable laws.
