Menstrual Hygiene Products Accessibility Grant_Hope Application.pdf
Summary : Hope Online Learning Academy Co-Op is applying for the CDE Menstrual Hygiene Products Accessibility Grant for both their middle and high schools. If granted approval through CDE’s internal grant approval review process, the school will engage in the activities as outlined in their application to CDE. The intent of the grant funds is to allow schools highly impacted based on Free and Reduced Lunch (FRL) data to acquire and distribute menstrual hygiene products at no expense to students, or install and maintain a dispensing machine or disposal receptacle for menstrual hygiene products. Hope Online will utilize grant funds for hygiene products. Submission to CDE was through an abbreviated online application process that requested minimal information on numbers of students and restrooms. Upon CDE review of all incoming requests, determinations will be made of funding amounts for eligible schools. Hope Online Middle School and High School are the only eligible schools in the District due to high FRL percentages. Funding is for the 21-22 school year.

For the CDE Menstrual Hygiene Products Accessibility Grant, Board knowledge of the grant application request by charters is required as part of the submission of the application and acceptance of grant funds by the District as the fiscal agent for the grant. CDE will be scoring, approving and awarding the grant application and funds. If the grant is awarded CDE has an extensive evaluation process in place for the use of the grant funds and related activities.

Specific amount was not requested; CDE will determine award amounts.
