Is there a specific method of notifying parents, guardians, and staff about pesticide applications?
There is no prescribed or required method for notifying parents, guardians, and staff about pesticide applications. Annual notifications can be handled along with other routine beginning of the year information distribution. The 72-hour advance notice may pose slightly more of a challenge. In many cases, school districts already have an effective means of notifying parents, teachers and staff about time-sensitive issues. Here are some examples of avenues through which schools can notify parents, guardians and staff: Voice-mail: Many schools now use voicemail notification systems to leave messages for parents and staff Bulletin boards: Written notices posted on school bulletin boards (for annual notification) Individual notices (primarily for staff) through interoffice mail, e-mails, and in-house PA/TV announcements.
