Low-Cost Pest Management Training Available for School Districts
The California Department of Pesticide Regulation (CDPR) is offering four one-day workshops to train school staff responsible for pest management in K-12 schools.
The following workshops will cover California Healthy Schools Act requirements and integrated pest management principles, including hands-on demonstrations:
October 3, 2012: Canyon Country (Los Angeles County); March 1, 2013: Antioch (Contra Costa County); April 4, 2013: Brawley (Imperial County); and June 12, 2013: Templeton (San Luis Obispo County).
The workshops have a $25 registration fee. Advanced half-day workshops on turf grass management for district personnel who already have attended an integrated pest management workshop are also available. The first turf grass workshop is November 19 in Davis.
