Every school in Iron County School District offers free period products in girls’ bathrooms in compliance with legislation (H.B. 162). Donated period product dispensers have been installed and will provide high-quality, organic, dignified products for students at no cost. We know that 4 out of 5 girls have missed class, or know someone who has, due to lack of access to period products. Providing these products will allow them to learn, play, and thrive without worry.
Parents or guardians are responsible for discussing the need for and proper use of period products with their children. Information has been compiled by the state.
