Connecticut schools struggle to implement free period product law by Sept 1st due to funding and vandalism issues.

Connecticut schools face difficulties implementing a new law requiring free period products in girls, boys, and all-gender bathrooms by Sept 1st, due to funding challenges and vandalism concerns. While districts like Norwalk, Danbury, and Ridgefield are implementing the law, Bethel faces funding cuts, and a previous incident of vandalism of a tampon dispenser raises concerns. The law aims to provide equitable access to period products for all students, with 28 states and Washington D.C. having similar legislation.
