Notice Info
ASBESTOS NOTIFICATION
Regional School Unit No. 67, the Local Education Agency (LEA), is required to annually notify the parents, guardians and employees of the LEA that an Asbestos Maintenance Plan is available for all of the facilities owned or leased by the LEA. This Plan is maintained in the LEA’s District Office at 25 Airport Rd., Lincoln, Maine.
PEST MANAGEMENT NOTIFICATION
R.S.U. No. 67 uses an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach to the control of insects, rodents, microorganisms, weeds, and other pests in school buildings and on school grounds. IPM combines a variety of methods for managing pests, including monitoring, improved sanitation and food storage practices, pest exclusion and removal, biological control, and pesticides. The objective of the IPM program is to provide effective pest control while minimizing pesticide use.
Pesticides
Non-chemical, pest management methods will be implemented whenever possible. However, sometimes pesticide use may be necessary to control a pest problem. When that happens, the schools will use the least hazardous, effective pesticide feasible.
Notification
When required by law, parents/guardians and school staff will be notified at least five days in advance of specific pesticide applications. When required by law, pesticide application notices will be posted in schools and on school grounds.
Notification need not be given for pesticide applications recognized by law or regulations as posing little or no risk of exposure to students or staff.
A copy of the school system’s IPM/Pest Management Policy is available for review in the district office. The schools also keep records of prior pesticide applications and the pesticides used. You may review these records, a copy of the policy, and Maine’s “Pesticides in Schools” regulation (Chapter 27 of the Department of Agriculture Board of Pesticide Control “Standards for Pesticide Applications and Public Notification in Schools”) by contacting the IPM Coordinator at 794-6500 or visiting the district office at 25 Airport Rd., Lincoln, Maine.
For further information about pests, pesticides, and notification, you may contact the Board of Pesticides Control at 287-2731 or go to www.state.me.us/agriculture/pesticides/schoolipm.
