All Vermont middle and high schoolers will have access to free condoms under new bill
Every high school and middle school in Vermont will now provide free condoms to students under a new bill that was just signed into law. "In order to prevent or reduce unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases, each school district shall make condoms available to all students in its secondary schools, free of charge," the bill reads. "At a minimum, condoms shall be placed in locations that are safe and readily accessible to students, including the school nurse’s office." The Vermont Agency of Education and Department of Health both expressed support for the legislation, which was signed by Republican Gov. Phil Scott on Oct.
