Students in New York City public schools are legally entitled to free menstrual products, yet access is often limited to nurses’ offices or administrative spaces. This forces students to miss instructional time, disclose private medical needs, or go without essential products during the school day. Menstruation is not an emergency — it is a routine biological process. Requiring students to leave class, ask permission, or explain themselves in order to access basic hygiene products creates unnecessary barriers, embarrassment, and inequity. We call on the NYC Department of Education to require and maintain free menstrual product dispensers in all girls’ and gender-neutral bathrooms in NYC public middle and high schools. Bathroom access is the most practical, dignified, and effective way to ensure this policy actually works as intended. This is not a request for a new initiative. It is a request to properly implement an existing commitment to student health and educational equity. Access to menstrual products should be immediate, private, and consistent across all schools. We urge the NYC Department of Education to issue a formal directive, establish compliance standards, and ensure schools are funded to maintain these dispensers.
