Costa Mesa fourth-grader petitions school district for greater accessibility to restrooms

Rory Siwula, 9, is looking for greater accessibility to restrooms at Killybrooke Elementary, where she attends.

Rory Siwula is 9 years old and speaks quickly, as if she were in a rush to get all the words out.

Rory said that she can’t reach the lights, sink or soap dispensers, and that there are no stalls that fit her wheelchair in the general education restrooms. While there are special education restrooms around campus, Rory said they’re sometimes occupied, which means she can’t always use them when she needs to.

District officials said in a statement that Killybrooke has several accessible restrooms and that all the restrooms on campus are compliant with the Americans With Disabilities Act.
