A Minnesota state law went into effect in year 2000 that requires schools to inform school staff, students and parents if they apply certain pesticides on school property.
Specifically, this law requires schools that apply these pesticides to maintain an estimated schedule of pesticide applications and to make the schedule available to employees and parents for review or copying at the school office.
State law also requires that you be told that the long-term health effects on children from the application of such pesticides or the class of chemicals to which they belong may not be fully understood.
If there are any questions regarding the Nevis School District Integrated Pest Management program or you would like more information on the pesticide application schedule, please contact the Nevis PUblic School Facilities Manager, Dustin Wroolie at 218-652-3500.
