MANCHESTER â A Burr and Burton Academy senior has won national recognition for an effort to stock school restrooms with menstrual products.
Mary Mendez, 18, of Manchester Center, was named as one of two top youth volunteers in Vermont of 2021 by The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards, which is billed as the countryâs âlargest youth recognition program based exclusively on volunteer community service.â
The idea for The Point, as Mendezâ initiative is known, arose after the student found herself in need of a menstrual product while on campus but far from the health center, where such items were available. A long uphill walk in search of a single pad left Mendez âirritated by that fact that it wasnât easily [available] in the restrooms or at the bottom of the hill,â she said.
Rochester Public Schools finds footing on gender-neutral restrooms
The restrooms at Overland Elementary School, the so-far unnamed the new middle school, and the new versions of Bishop and Longfellow elementary schools, will have similar configurations. 7:20 am, Mar. 10, 2021 ×
The new public schools under construction in Rochester will have a large number of gender-neutral restrooms, an initiative that had received support in the planning process for the new buildings funded in the 2019 voter-approved referendum.
The school district s original goal for having gender-neutral restrooms didn t conform with state code. Because of that, the district submitted a request for a variance in October 2020. The request included multiple statements from third-party individuals, advocating for the variance to be approved.
