IPM SCHOOL POLICY
• INTEGRATED PEST CONTROL PROGRAM
• The District shall adopt an integrated pest control program for the use of
pesticides, herbicides, and other chemical agents to control pests, rodents,
insects, and weeds at school buildings and other school facilities.
• STRUCTURAL PEST CONTROL
• When necessary, the District shall obtain pest control services for school
buildings either by:
– Contracting with a business that has a structural pest control business license; or
– Requiring the District employee who is licensed as a certified noncommercial
applicator or technician to perform the services. [Occupations Code 1951.459]
• Before treating a school building for pest control, the District shall ensure
that the necessary signs and information for employees and parents of

IPM COORDINATOR
• The District shall designate an IPM coordinator(s). The IPM coordinator must implement

training course within 12 months of designation as IPM coordinator.
• The IPM coordinator shall oversee and be responsible for the following:
– Assisting in the coordination of pest management personnel and ensuring that all school
employees who perform pest control have the necessary training, are equipped with the
appropriate personal protective equipment, and have the necessary licenses for their pest
management responsibilities;
– Maintaining a prioritized list of needed structural and landscape improvements;
– For a district that conducts some or all pest management work through independent
contractors, working with administrators to ensure that local pest control proposal specifications
are compatible with IPM principles, and that pest control contractors work under the guidelines
of the District’s IPM policy;
– Ensuring that all pesticides used on District property are in compliance with this policy and
keeping current pesticide labels and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS);
– Authorizing and reviewing least hazardous, effective emergency treatments with the approval of
the certified applicator;
– Handling requests and inquiries relating to pest problems and maintaining records of any
pesticide-related complaints;
– Ensuring that files are maintained regarding pesticide application records and that incidental
use reports are in compliance with 19 TAC 595.17;
– Informing District administrators and other personnel about IPM requirements (training, notice
and posting, sanitation, pesticide storage); and
– Maintaining a copy of the District’s IPM policy.

Recommendations
•
REMOVE ALL PESTICIDES AND SPRAYING DEVICES STORED ON THE
CAMPUSES AND TURN INTO THE IPM COORDINATOR
•
EACH CAMPUS WILL BE ISSUED A PEST MANAGEMENT BOOK TO BE
MAINTAINED BY THE HEAD CUSTODIAN WHICH WILL INCLUDE THE
FOLLOWING
• PEST SIGHTING LOG TO DOCUMENT PROBLEMATIC AREAS
• PEST CONTROL APPLICATION LOG WITH ALL JUSTIFICATION PAPERWORK AND
THE MSDS SHEETS OF THE CHEMICAL APPLIED
•
ALL PEST CONTROL MUST BE DONE WITH A BUSINESS THAT HAS A
STRUCTURAL PEST CONTROL BUSINESS LICENSE. THE DISTRICT
NO LONGER EMPLOYS A LICENCED PESTICIDE APPLICATOR.
CUSTODIANS AND MAINTENANCE WORKERS CANNOT APPLY
PESTICIDES WITHIN THE DISTRICT.
•
IF ANY EMPLOYEE IS A LICENCED PESTICIDE APPLICATOR, PLEASE
CONTACT AL FLORES, JR. IPM COORDINATOR
HAZ COM Program
• Purpose of program
• Assure all Hazardous Chemicals are properly stored and
labeled
• To maintain a detailed inventory of the chemicals stored
• To maintain a reference book with Material Data Safety
Sheets in case of an emergency
• To ensure all chemicals and empty storage containers are
disposed of properly.
• To assure all storage areas are properly labeled as per their
content.
• To assure that the chemicals listed in the storage room are
as listed, and update any changes on a monthly or at a
minimum a yearly basis.
Steps to Compliance by the AISD
• Develop a detailed inventory of all the chemicals of the
workplace
• Develop a MSDS book at all storage sites
• Develop a proper labeling system for the storage room
and containers
• Develop a purchasing program to assure all chemicals
purchased meet the set criteria
• Train all custodial and maintenance staff as to the
storage requirements and the safety procedures required
in an emergency
• Train the Head Custodians to maintain the Haz Com
Program at each campus.
LABEL GUIDE
•
•
•
•
Blue Diamond- Health Hazard
Red Diamond- Fire Hazard
Yellow Diamond- Instability
White Diamond- Personal Protection
The importance of the labeling system is for the firefighters
ability to react to an emergency without exposing them to
additional hazards. Ex: If a chemical stored reacts
violently with water, then the firefighter will know that
before applying water to an existing fire in the room.
In addition, the MSDS Sheets for the chemicals will give
emergency procedures if an employee or child is
exposed.
