The Virginia Senate unanimously passed a bill Tuesday requiring public schools to include free menstrual products in their bathrooms!
An earlier version of the bill applied the stipulation to the aforementioned schools where at least 40% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch.
According to Boysko, school budgets currently cover menstrual product expenses, but they are often kept in the nurse's office, making it inconvenient for students. The district began a pilot program last fall providing free menstrual products in school bathrooms to improve access to menstrual products.
Menstrual products are not covered by government grocery assistance programs, and some families can't afford sanitary products.
