What is Integrated Pest Management (IPM)?
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a comprehensive approach used in our school district to control pests in a way that minimizes risks to people and the environment. Instead of relying solely on chemical treatments, IPM combines various methods like monitoring pests, improving sanitation, and using physical barriers. This strategy aims to prevent pest problems while reducing the need for pesticides. By understanding the life cycles of pests and their interaction with the environment, IPM provides effective, economical, and environmentally sound pest management.

School District Policy 716 outlines the district's Integrated Pest Management (IPM) plan.

The policy prioritizes sustainable and preventative methods, aligning with our commitment to health and safety.
Why do we follow the IPM model in our schools?Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is particularly beneficial in school districts due to its focus on safety and sustainability. It reduces children's exposure to pesticides by using less toxic alternatives and emphasizing preventive measures. IPM involves regular monitoring for pests, identifying them accurately, and choosing control methods that are effective, economical, and have the least impact on students, staff, and the environment. This approach includes educational components, promoting awareness and cooperation among school staff and students in maintaining a healthy, pest-free environment. Implementing IPM in schools demonstrates a commitment to student health and environmental stewardship.
