Young advocates urge Broward schools to provide period products

## The request Young advocates are urging the Broward County School Board to make menstrual products accessible to all students in Broward County schools. Their push places access to these products before the district’s elected school board.

## What is at issue The request is focused on menstrual products and whether students should be able to access them across the Broward County school system. The stated goal is access for all students, rather than access limited to a particular group or location.

## School Board process The Broward County School Board is the public body identified in connection with the request. The information available does not establish whether the board has voted, scheduled a meeting, adopted a policy or taken another formal action on the issue.

The advocacy effort does not by itself change district policy. Any policy change would have to come through action by the School Board or the school system, but the next step has not been stated.
