Further analysis of these figures will be done before the presentation to the Board on June 28. A quick survey of the locker room facilities on all high school campuses leads us to the recommendation that all basket lockers be removed, and replaced with book lockers as these are removed from use. This would allow all students to be assigned a permanent storage place for their clothing in the locker rooms, without having to switch from the baskets to the larger lockers during PE time. Problems occur when someone forgets to remove their lock from the larger locker, and then students for the next 24 hours do not have a large enough locker available to store their clothing, backpacks, etc, during PE class. Showers take up a major area of the middle of the lockers rooms at Hart, Canyon and Saugus High Schools.
Few students use the shower facilities.
If money could be found to move the shower areas to a corner, and decrease the size of this area, there would be plenty of room for additional lockers. There are no benches in the locker rooms for students to sit on as they change clothing, and this would be a very nice addition if funds can be found. Nighttime walk throughs of Saugus and Canyon High Schools to assess the lighting have been completed. Valencia and Hart Highs Schools will be done soon. Saugus High School has very adequate lighting throughout the main campus.
