Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
According to California State Law, in accordance with the Healthy Schools Act, every employee who uses pesticides at a school site, including antimicrobials such as disinfectant wipes, must complete IPM Training annually. Antimicrobials such as disinfectants and sanitizers are pesticides because they are created to kill germs on surfaces. The Panama-Buena Vista Union School district requires all employees to complete this training at the beginning of the school year.
