School District Preps For More Lockdowns With 1,800 Plastic Classroom Toilets

A California school district said this week that they had so many lockdowns last year that it seemed like the perfect time to spend $36,000 on portable plastic toilets for the classrooms.

told KBAK. "The longest that I saw was two hours."

The so-called lockdown kits sold by SOS Survival Products include a 5-gallon bucket with a toilet seat lid, toilet paper, wet wipes, waste bags, duct tape, latex gloves, a tarp and a bag of kitty litter.

"This year, as a district, we bought it district wide in order to get the most cost-effective rate on our cost," Teves explained. "We were able to buy these for about $20 each. We bought a total of 1,800, so it was a cost of about $36,000."

With an increasing number of bomb threats and guns in schools, Teves said that the district needed to be prepared.

"It would be regrettable, it would be traumatic if a child had to go to the bathroom in the classroom during a lockdown," he pointed out. "On the other hand, some of the shootings, some of the mass slayings of children at school are such that we can't be too careful."
