Pesticide Use Report/ IPM

Pesticide Use Reporting/Integrated Pest Management

The Healthy School Act of 2000 with new amendments made in 2015, requires that all schools provide parents and staff members with annual written notification of expected pesticide use on school sites. Menlo Park City School District has developed an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Plan that relies on long term pest prevention methods and limits the use of pesticides. The IPM program begins with education, habitat management, and alteration of maintenance activities, followed by physical, biological, and then chemical control. We’re happy to report that for 2019 the District did not apply any pesticides in landscaping areas or school buildings.

As part of the annual student enrollment process, parents or guardians can opt into the notification of individual pesticide applications at the school site. 

Persons who register for such notification shall be notified of individual pesticide applications at least 72 hours prior to application.
