What this document actually says
This policy, adopted September 16, 2019, establishes Reed Union School District's approach to pest control using Integrated Pest Management (IPM). The district prioritizes the safest, least toxic methods to control pests while protecting students, staff, and the environment. Key requirements include: maintaining sanitary conditions to prevent infestations and minimize pesticide use; keeping four-year records of all pesticide applications at each school; making these records publicly available; providing annual written notices to parents and staff listing pesticide products expected to be used; allowing parents to register for individual application notifications; and posting warning signs before pesticide applications. The policy applies to both pesticides and herbicides. Licensed pest control operators must report their applications and the district regularly reviews procedures to assess progress and incorporate best practices.
What this means for your family
Parents receive annual notifications listing pesticide products that may be used at their child's school during the year. Families can register to receive advance notice before each individual pesticide application occurs. Warning signs are posted before applications. Parents can request to review four years of pesticide use records at their child's school. This policy ensures transparency about chemical exposure at school sites.
