To qualify for funding, districts must have designated bathrooms for females and males or both in their school buildings and must supply at least 20 tampons or pads per month to students who request them. The reimbursement amount is based on the percentage of students in the district who qualify for free or reduced-price meals, with a minimum guarantee of covering 50% of the program costs.
