Rejected petition To make schools allow students to go to the bathrooms during lessons

What if someone has some sort of special needs the school doesn't know of and doesn't let them go? It will make them super embarrassed about it. Also what if a girl was on her period? She will obviously have to go to the bathrooms to do whatever that is needed.
