	Training Overview

	To implement the training requirement of the Healthy Schools Act of 2000, DPR will conduct integrated pest management (IPM) training for school districts throughout the state. Our goal is to help school districts adopt IPM programs and least-hazardous pest management practices. The program will feature a hands-on, “walk-through” demonstration format and focus on the major pests of school buildings and landscapes. Training will be conducted in fiscal year 2005-2006. Locations, dates and other information about the school IPM training workshops will be announced here (check back frequently for updates).

	Training Workshop Schedule for Fall 2007 and Spring 2008.

DPR has organized integrated pest management (IPM) workshops for school IPM coordinators and other school district staff responsible for pest management in schools, such as administrators, maintenance and operations directors, facilities directors, groundskeepers, and custodians. These one-day workshops review IPM principles and provide hands-on demonstrations and tours of major pests around school buildings and grounds. The same workshop will be offered on various dates at locations throughout the state. The registration form, (PDF, 1 mb) is now available for the workshops listed below.
