Re: Menstrual Dignity Grant Program Updates
Dear menstrual dignity grantees and partners,
As school districts continue implementing the Menstrual Dignity for Students program, ODE has received thoughtful questions and insights that are helping shape ongoing support. This message shares an upcoming opportunity to learn from peers across the state, along with important updates related to Menstrual Dignity grant funding and timelines.
Menstrual Dignity Implementation Community of Practice
ODE is hosting a community of practice webinar to discuss requirements, recommendations, and best practices for the implementation of the Menstrual Dignity for Students Program. This hour-long session will provide information on lessons learned from districts across the state and other tips to strengthen the program to better serve students.
When: February 26th from 4:00-5:00pm
Where: Virtual*
*Please note that this event is for current school educators and staff. A school email address is required for registration.
Menstrual Dignity Grant Updates
- While Menstrual Dignity Grants appear on EGMS, they are still marked as “On Hold”. This is because ODE has not sent out grant agreements yet for the 2025-27 biennium. These should be going out in the coming weeks.
- In the meantime, please review the 2025-2027 funding calculator for the funding ceiling designated for districts, public charter schools, or ESDs for the legislative biennium.
- The spending period (July 1, 2025- June 30, 2027) has begun. Please fill out the 2025-2027 reimbursement and participation form with your expenses, on a rolling basis, no later than August 14, 2027.
- Please note that in many cases, grant agreements that cover charter school costs will go directly to the sponsoring school district. If you would like to inquire about or change how your charter school, ESD, or school district grant is distributed, please review this document or reach out to ode.menstrual-dignity@ode.oregon.gov.
