Re: Pesticide Herbicide Control Schedule Notice – 2017-2018 School Year

Per the “Parents Right to Know Act” that took effect on September 15, 2000, we are required to post a schedule for anyone who might want to know when an application will be performed. This schedule must also be stored for a period of 6 years.

This notice must be posted in your building in an area where both parents and staff can view it. This same information, along with much more, is also available on our districts web site.
