Mid-May LBCC fulfilled the Menstrual Equity Act that requires all Californian public schools to carry free menstrual products in restrooms by the start of the 2022-23 school semester.
This bill was signed in October of 202 and applies to California public schools in grades 6-12, California community colleges, and California state universities.
To satisfy the legislature, both the Pacific Coast campus and Liberal Arts campus locations started installing feminine care product dispensers throughout campus in both the women’s and men’s bathrooms.
Although all bathrooms around campus now have these products available free of charge, there is still an inconsistency in regards to these machines functioning and dispensing correctly.
