Mid-Del Schools to launch first-in-state program to address period poverty for K-12 students. In partnership with SSM Health St. Anthony Hospital - Midwest, the Midwest City-Del City Public Schools Foundation is pleased to announce a groundbreaking program for addressing period poverty in public schools by providing dispensers with free period products in restroom facilities in each of the district’s elementary, middle and high schools. This innovative program is the first in Oklahoma and one of the first in the nation.
Period poverty is known as the condition of being disadvantaged due to menstruation and is most often experienced by individuals under financial constraints. Lack of access to adequate pads or tampons can lead to students missing class, staying home from school, falling behind academically and more. These effects can often be magnified for young people starting their menstruation journey, which can be a confusing time, especially when combined with myriad other physical and social challenges of adolescence. Inflation and rising costs of living also contribute to period poverty.
“Period poverty is one of those problems that people tend to think of as happening in other times and places – if they are aware of it at all,” said Lindse Barks, director, Midwest City-Del City Public School Foundation. “Unfortunately, period poverty is very real for today’s Oklahoma students, and we believe this partnership will go a long way to help address it. Additionally, we hope this will help start a dialogue not only in our schools but in our community and the state as a whole, so we may all better understand and confront the inequities brought about by period poverty.”
The district is engaging Aunt Flow, a nationwide purveyor of period products, to install 207 dispensers during the fall semester. High-quality, sustainably made period products will then be made available in those dispensers free to all students and teachers, regardless of income or need – no questions asked. SSM Health St. Anthony Hospital - Midwest is sponsoring the dispensers.
“The Founding Sisters of SSM Health St. Anthony were dedicated to serving Oklahoma’s vulnerable and addressing the inequities of their time, just as we believe Mid-Del Schools is doing through this program today,” said Karen Green, regional director of Mission Integration, SSM Health St. Anthony. “Our organization has been eager to jump onboard in support of this initiative as it reflects our Mission-driven goal of expanding access to high-quality health care to all who need it.”
Members of the Oklahoma City community along with students, staff, and Mid-Del Board members celebrated the completion of the new addition to Schwartz Elementary. The addition includes a storm shelter, new main office, gymnasium, music room, and 8 classrooms. Classes will begin in the new addition on Monday, April 12.

Mid-Del will be closed on Wednesday, August 28, 2019, and there will be no evening classes or activities. While OG&E has been working diligently to restore power throughout our communities, we currently have eight schools that are without power or have partial power. The safety of our students and staff is our priority. Thank you for your patience. #mdpurpose
Good evening. At this time, we still have six locations without power or that have partial power. Those sites include: Del City High School, Jarman Middle School, Pleasant Hill Elementary, Ridgecrest Elementary, Steed Elementary and Tinker Elementary. Therefore, we have not made a decision about whether or not to reconvene classes tomorrow, August 28, 2019.
We know that OG&E is working to restore power throughout the night, and we will make a determination in the morning by 5 am as to whether or not classes will resume at all campuses, some campuses, or none. Please be patient as many of our families are still without power across the seven communities we serve. We will notify our families through our automated phone system, through social media, and through local television stations.
Thank you for your patience. Our student and staff safety is our first priority. #mdpurpose
Mid-Del Public Schools will be closed today. We will not have classes or evening activities due to multiple schools being without power. We have made this decision based on the safety of our students and staff. Thank you.
