Dear EUHSD Community:
The Healthy Schools Act of 2000 was signed into law in September 2000, and requires that all schools provide parents or guardians of students with annual written notification of expected pesticide use on school sites. The notification will identify the active ingredient or ingredients in each pesticide product and will include the Internet address (http://www.cdpr.ca.gov ) for further information on pesticides and their alternatives.
The pesticides listed below have been authorized by the District to control weeds, vertebrates and insects on campus. Generally, all pesticides are applied on weekends or non-school days by outside contractors; however, on occasion pesticides may be applied after hours on school days. The latter is avoided whenever possible.
