3406 Integrated Pest Management
The District will monitor, manage, and treat pests on District property.
A. Pest Application
- The Board does not authorize the application of a pesticide on District property unless a written integrated pest management program is in place for that property. The Superintendent or designee will develop, evaluate, and modify site-specific integrated pest management programs in accordance with law.
- The Board only authorizes the lawful application of a pesticide by a certified or registered applicator who has been properly trained. After the application of a pesticide, a person may only reenter District property in compliance with restrictions identified by the applicator and required by law.
- A “pesticide” does not include sanitizers, germicides, disinfectants, or antimicrobial agents.
B. Notice
- Within 30 days after the beginning of each school year, the Superintendent or designee will provide notice to students’ parents/guardians that they will receive advance notice of the application of a pesticide.
- Except in an emergency, the Superintendent or designee will provide at least 48 hours’ advance notice to students’ parents/guardians of the application of a pesticide. In an emergency, the Superintendent or designee will provide notice to students’ parents/guardians promptly after a pesticide has been applied.
- Notices will comply with methods, time frames, and information requirements established by MCL 324.8316.
- Notices are not required for the application of a pesticide that is a bait or gel formulation.
C. Records
Each building will maintain a copy of its integrated pest management program. Records of pesticide use and other non-pesticide pest management practices will be maintained on site.
