    INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT PROGRAM 


    The District is committed to following integrated pest management guidelines in all pest control activities that take place on District property. As provided in the Texas Administrative Code, integrated pest management (1PM) is a pest management strategy that relies on accurate identification and scientific knowledge of target pests, reliable monitoring methods to assess pest presence, preventative measures to limit pest problems, and thresholds to determine when corrective control measures are needed. Under 1PM, whenever economical and practical, multiple control tactics shall be used to achieve the best control of pests. These tactics shall possibly include, but are not limited to, the judicious use of pesticides.

    In accordance with Part 4, Title 7 of the Administrative Code and Chapter 1951 of the Occupations Code, the District's 1PM program shall govern the District's use of pesticides, herbicides, and other chemical agents for the purpose of controlling pests, rodents, insects, and weeds in and around District facilities.

    APPLICATION TIME The 1PM coordinator(s), in addition to the responsibilities set out in FRAME CLB(LEGAL), shall coordinate with appropriate District administrators or other designated and trained employees regarding pesticide or herbicide applications in accordance with law.

NO UNAUTHORIZED No other employee or other person or entity shall be permitted to apply a pesticide or herbicide at a school facility without the prior approval of the 1PM coordinator and other than in the manner prescribed by law and the District's 1PM program.
