What will you learn?
Do you feel that as an administrator, pest management is not your business? Think again. A school IPM program involves everyone in the school, and administrators can make a difference and get their colleagues to listen! This training course will show you how. This course describes the role of a school administrator in implementing a successful and sustainable IPM program and covers essential information on common pests in schools and how to deal with them.
Lesson one covers how to develop, implement and maintain an IPM Policy and Plan. Having a school board adopted policy will help to explain to teachers, staff, parents and the public the school’s commitment to children’s health.
Lesson two covers how to identify common pests in the school environment and the problems they cause, best strategies to manage them, communicating about these strategies, notification, and other administrative procedures.
