In 1999 the Illinois General Assembly
passed laws requiring that public
schools notify parents/guardians and
school employees at least forty-eight
hours prior to any pesticide
applications on school property.
The term“pesticide” includes
insecticides, herbicides, rodenticides,
and fungicides.
The notification requirement
extends to both indoor and outdoor
pesticide applications.
Excluded from the notification
requirement are anti-microbial agents
(such as disinfectants, sanitizers or
deodorizers), insecticide baits, and
rodenticide baits.
Therefore, District #87 has established
a notification registry for each school
of all people who want to be notified.
To be included in this registry,
please contact the Facilities Management
Office at 827-6031, extension 258 and
submit the following information: name,
address, telephone number, and school(s)
your children attend within District
#87.
If you have any other questions
regarding District #87’s integrated pest
management practices, you may contact
the Facilities Management Office at
827-6031, extension 258
