How does the principal determine who wants the 72-hour advance notification?
The annual or universal notice (Sample Form 1) should be accompanied by instructions for requesting 72-hour advance notification (Sample Form 2: Request for Advance Pesticide Use Notification available at http://schoolipm.ncsu.edu/resources.htm) for non-exempt pesticide applications. Using the information, the principal (or designee) can prepare a registry of names and contact information of parents, guardians, and staff requesting the advance notification for future use. Some school districts may find it easier to notify every parent, guardian, and staff member about a non-exempt pesticide application any time that one occurs at their school/facility. The advantage of this approach is that it eliminates the need to keep track of who has requested advance notification. One possible disadvantage is for individuals who request notification about buildings other than their childs school or their work site. This is a matter that your school board may wish to address in formulating its IPM
