This policy called Integrated Pest Management Policy (IPM), uses low risk methods to eliminate pest & weeds. The policy was the first in the USA to embrace the Precautionary Principle & Right to Know about pesticides used on school campuses. Today it’s become the model for school districts & communities internationally. October 6, 2005, Governor Schwarzenegger signed AB 405 (Montanez) sponsored by California Safe Schools.
