Menstrual Dignity Act
On October 19, 2023, the State Board voted to link requirements of the (OAR 581-021-0590 and OAR 581-021-0593) to Division 22 with the adoption of a new rule,. This new rule is in Chapter 581, Division 22, which includes all requirements that the Oregon legislature or the State Board has determined must be met in order to be a standard Oregon school district. While the new Division 22 rule does not change the requirements or intention of the original, it will enhance ODE’s ability to provide technical support to schools and districts in their efforts to provide menstrual product options that are free and privately accessible to all students.
The MDA helps to center student equity and menstrual dignity by requiring that school districts provide free menstrual products for all menstruating students in public schools, including elementary, middle, and high school students.
Since the passing of this Act, the Oregon Department of Education has compiled a which outlines requirements and recommendations for districts as they implement this in their schools.

(Physical Education Requirements)
-
-
150 minutes per week of physical education for K-5 students. 225 minutes per week of physical education for 6-8 students. Half of the minutes must be spent with students involved in moderate to vigorous physical activity. Date of intended implementation: Fall 2017.
-
-
-
In 2007, the Oregon Legislature passed House Bill 3141. During the 2017 legislative session, Senate Bill 4 was passed to delay several of the physical education requirements and phase them in through the 2023-23 school year, among other changes.
-
House Bill 3199 further modifies the physical education requirements for middle school students to help alleviate some of the implementation challenges (e.g., gym space, shortage of PE teachers). The bill changes the middle school requirement from 225 minutes during each school week to an average of 150 minutes during each school week, as calculated over the duration of a school year. This allows districts to count minutes on a weekly basis or average weekly basis (e.g., 125 minutes in week 1 and 175 minutes in week 2 averages out to 150 minutes per week.) This additional flexibility will allow districts with block schedules to meet minute requirements without having to revamp middle school schedules drastically.
-
-
-
Every student in grades K-8 shall participate in physical education throughout the whole year. Minutes will be prorated for the following conditions: Regular school weeks which include closures for holidays, inservice, and parent-teacher conferences; school weeks with unintended school closures; time spent engaged in field trips and outdoor school; part time school programs such as 1/2 day kindergarten; irregular schedules; and each biennium in which a school district finds itself within a budget shortfall.
-
Schools may provide up to 45 minutes per week of instruction that meets the ODE state standards for physical education and is provided by a teacher who is licensed to work with the children but perhaps does not have a physical education endorsement so long as they have been reviewed and approved by a licensed teacher who DOES have a physical education endorsement.
-
All teachers of physical education for public school students in K-8 shall be adequately prepared and shall regularly participate in professional development activities to effectively deliver the physical education program.
-
Dates of intended implementation:
-
School Year 2019-20: 120 minutes of PE per week
-
School Year 2020-21: 150 minutes of PE per week
-
School Year 2021-22: 180 minutes of PE per week (Grades 6-8)
