HAYS COUNTY, Texas (KXAN) - Students at Lehman High School with Hays CISD said they do not have enough access to restrooms. "I've almost used the restroom on myself a couple of times," said one student who wanted to remain anonymous. They said there are only two restrooms for each gender available most of the day. "They're like, 'Oh, it's unlocked, go ahead and go to it.' And I try it, it's locked," they said. Parent Katelyn Shephard said her daughter has shared similar experiences. "It's been a struggle for the kids to use the restroom properly," Shephard said.
