I am surprised nobody has mentioned the fact that middle school girls are often just beginning their menstural cycles. I recall more than once in junior high where I *had* to run to the restroom.

Granted, being allowed 15 passes per month to use the facilities would cover this problem in most cases, but still.....it seems a bit harsh.

I've also been in situations (school/job/training, etc.) where potty breaks were few and far between, but this school's reasoning seems absurd.
