District’s Integrated Pest Management Plan

PESTICIDE PRODUCTS

The District uses common pesticides and herbicides as necessary to control weeds and pests at schools.

Signs are posted at the schools describing the pesticides or herbicides to be used, along with the active ingredients contained in the pesticide/herbicide, at least 24 hours prior to application. If you would prefer to be notified by mail at least 72 hours prior to application at your child’s school during the 2022-23 school year, call the District’s Maintenance and Operations Department (510-471-5559) to be placed on a notification list.
