Integrated Pest Management Information
The health and safety of students and staff is MESD’s first priority, and is a prerequisite to learning. It is the policy of MESD to approach pest management with the least possible risk to students and staff. Pesticides are only used after other methods, such as increased cleaning, have proved insufficient. In addition, Senate Bill 637 (incorporated into ORS Chapter 634 upon finalization in 2009) requires all school districts to implement integrated pest management (IPM) in their schools.
Below you will find MESD’s Integrated Pest Management Plan and other pest-related documents. Copies of all Pesticide Treatment Notifications are posted on this site as well. Pesticide Treatment Notifications are shared with school administration to share with staff and families at least 24 hours prior to a pesticide treatment by a licensed pesticide applicator.
