What do we do with the forms some parents have returned requesting notification of pesticide application on campus?
You need to retain these forms in an easily accessible file or folder. When your site administrator/custodial staff determine the need to apply pesticides/herbicides, you are required to notify parents on your notification list at least 72 hours prior to application. In your notification,you must state the product name and active ingredients of each pesticide product being used. You must also post or see that the company you contract with posts notices 24 hours in advance and 72 hours following in areas where pesticides are applied. By law, you must notify Operations at the end of each school year of what materials were used, so this can be reported by the District to the State.
