member, or student attending the school. Also, the IPM Coordinator is available to parents, guardians, and staff members for information
and to discuss comments about IPM activities and pesticide use at the school.
As part of a school pest management plan the Sayreville School District may use pesticides to control pests. The United
States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP)
register pesticides to determine that the use of a pesticide in accordance with instructions printed on the label does
not pose an unreasonable risk to human health and the environment. Nevertheless, the EPA and the DEP cannot
guarantee that registered pesticides do not pose any risk to human health, thus unnecessary exposure to pesticides
should be avoided. The EPA has issued the statement that where possible, persons who are potentially sensitive, such
as pregnant women, infants and children, should avoid unnecessary pesticide exposure.
