To mandate county boards of education to provide feminine hygiene products in all public elementary, middle, and high schools for female students
HB 5121 requires all West Virginia public elementary, middle, and high schools to provide free tampons and pads to female students. County boards of education must ensure these feminine hygiene products are available at no cost in school facilities. The bill directly affects every public school in the state and its female students by mandating access to these essential items. This policy change replaces any existing requirements with a statewide standard for free provision of such products.
