Returning from Spring Break this year, students and staff noticed an unexpected change: alcohol based, automated hand sanitizers.
“I really like the new hand sanitizers because the old ones never worked,” sophomore Sraddha Pedaprolu said. “Also, alcohol-based hand sanitizers are really good for getting rid of germs and [are] especially [important] in this day and age where lots of diseases are spreading.”
However, the shift has not been well-received by some students.
“I take a culinary class at the CTE, and [the new dispensers] make it very difficult to wash our hands because of how little soap actually dispenses from the soap dispensers,” junior Chloe Turner said. “So, honestly I don’t think it was that necessary of a change, since there’s definitely other parts of the district that money could’ve gone towards. I mean, the libraries could be better, our food could be better.”
