Theinitial inspection findings and management plans have beenin place since the required date of July 9, 1989.The EPA requires us to perform reinspections of theasbestos materials every three years. The most recentinspections were preformed August 2010, and no unusualcircumstances were found.The results of the reinspection are on file and may bereviewed during normal school hours (M-F 8:00 AM - 4:00PM).1Mr. Craig H. Boltz, Asbestos Program Manager, is availableat the District Office, (717) 273-9391 to answer questionsregarding asbestos in our buildings.Integrated Pest Management PolicyThe Lebanon School District uses an Integrated PestManagement (IPM) approach for managing insects,rodents, and weeds. Our goal is to protect every studentfrom pesticide exposure by using an IPM approach to pestmanagement. Our IPM approach focuses on making theschool building and grounds an unfavorable habitat for thesepests by removing food and water sources and eliminatingtheir hiding and breeding places. We accomplish this throughroutine cleaning and maintenance.(Continued)

We routinely monitor the school building and grounds todetect any pests that are present. The pest monitoring teamconsists of our building maintenance, office, and teachingstaff, and includes our students. Pest sightings are reportedto our IPM coordinator who evaluates the “pest problem” anddetermines the appropriate pest management techniques toaddress the problem. The techniques can include increasedsanitation, modifying storage practices, sealing entry points,physically removing the pest, etc.1111From time to time, it may be necessary to use chemicalsto manage a pest problem. Chemicals will only be usedwhen necessary, and will not be routinely applied. Whenchemicals are used, the school will try to use the least toxicproducts when possible. Applications will be made only whenauthorized persons do not have access to the area(s) beingtreated. Notices will be posted in these areas 72 hours priorto application and for two (2) days following the application.Parents or guardians of students enrolled in the school mayrequest prior notification of specific pesticide applicationsmade at school. To receive notification, you must be placedon the school’s notification registry. If you would like to beplaced on this registry, please notify the district in writing.Please include your email address if you would like to benotified electronically.If a chemical application must be made to control an emergencypest problem, notice will be provided by telephone toany parent or guardian who has requested such notificationin writing. Exemptions to this notification include disinfectantsand antimicrobial products; self-containerized baits placed inareas not accessible to students; and gel type baits placed incracks, crevices, or voids. 1Each year the district will prepare 1a new notification registry. If you have questions, please contactMr. Craig H.
