Beginning this school year, schools can receive free feminine hygiene products for their students. This is thanks to a bill that was signed by Gov. Kay Ivey in April that allocates $200,000 for the products to be put in Title I schools.
“You wouldn’t be here if it was not for a period,” said the sponsor of the legislation Rep. Roland Hollis, D-Jefferson County.
“Schools were getting these products,” said Hollis. “It was coming out of the principal, counselors, nurses, teachers out of their personal pockets.”
