In 1993, the Department of Pesticide
Regulation (DPR) began working with school districts
in California to provide information about
integrated
pest management (IPM) practices. During this time,
a few innovative districts in California developed their
own IPM programs. In January 2001, the enactment of
the Healthy Schools Act of 2000 (Assembly Bill 2260)
put into place right-to-know requirements such as notification,
posting, and recordkeeping for pesticides used at schools.
The law also put into code DPR’s existing school IPM
program and new, more detailed pesticide use reporting.
