Massachusetts' high school board has agreed to allow contraceptives sale among students. After the “pregnancy pact” scandal in June, the board has unanimously voted to allow student to buy contraceptives. Gloucester School Committee made this plan that allows contraceptives to be sold inside school’s health clinic, but their sale will only be permitted with the parents’ consent.

The City Hall united nearly 20 parents and students who discussed about the current policy of the school that doesn’t allow the use or sale of contraceptives. The “pregnancy pact” in June blew off after several high school students decided to get pregnant and raise their children together.

Mayor Carolyn Kirk said that no such pact existed, but 17 pregnancies were reported among the 1,200-student facility last year and this was four times higher than other years.

86% students at Gloucester school felt very optimistic and ready to help in the contraceptives’ distribution and nearly 49% of them felt embarrassed to even talk about the subject. Pam Tobey, 16, the secretary of the Student Advisory Council said that this decision was something that everyone wanted.

 “It's a big issue. I do think the majority [of students] would want it, but there should be limits - age, routine check-ups," the boy added. The policy will start as soon as the school board decides in which language the parental consent will be written.
