13185
. (a) The department shall establish an integrated pest
management training program in order to facilitate the adoption of a
model IPM program and least-hazardous pest control practices by
schoolsites. In establishing the IPM training program, the department
shall do all of the following:
(1) Adopt a "train-the-trainer" approach, whenever feasible, to
rapidly and broadly disseminate program information.
(2) Develop curricula and promote ongoing training efforts in
cooperation with the University of California and the California
State University.
(3) Prioritize outreach on a regional basis first and then to
school districts. For outreach to child day care facilities, the
department shall participate in existing trainings that provide
opportunities for disseminating program information broadly on a
regional basis.
(b) Nothing in this article shall preclude a schoolsite from
adopting stricter pesticide use policies.
