Students will likely soon be able to use free period products in all public K-12 schools and charters in Utah, which supporters say will help keep girls learning in the classroom with dignity.
Heidi Maxfield and her daughter Ivy, 10, show their support during a November rally at the Capitol sponsored by The Period Project, to urge Utah legislators to provide free menstrual products in the restrooms of every public school.received overwhelming support in both the House and Senate, with 37 legislators signing on as co-sponsors with Rep. Karianne Lisonbee, R-Clearfield, and Sen. Ann Millner, R-Ogden, who ran the bill.
“Access to period products is as necessary as toilet paper,” Emily McCormick, an advocate who is leading the effort called, previously said. Yet one in five girls can’t afford period products, according to her organization. The effort is made possible by funding from a public-private partnership. The dispensers are being donated by longtime philanthropist Gail Miller’s foundation and the Andrus Family Foundation. And the Legislature designated money to pay for the period products until school districts can absorb the cost into their budgets by July 2025.
