SCHOOL IPM

We also plan to evaluate and collect data on the two area schools which have implemented School IPM practices, the Vermillion Area Special Education (VASE) School, and the Westville School district. We will also be evaluating the IPM program that has been implemented at the University regarding pesticide usage and pest data... In tandem with the Illinois Department of Public Health, we also plan on establishing new school IPM programs in school districts that are declining implementing an IPM plan due to cost concerns. Along with providing continual support to the Westville School district and VASE to solve new pest management issues that are encountered by their pest management professional... We are also undergoing development of sustainable in-depth training programs for pest management professionals and school IPM coordinators to increase their knowledge of school IPM and pest diagnostics in cooperation with the NC School IPM Working Group.
