Annual Integrated Pest Management Notice
For School Year 2016 - 2017
Dear Parent, Guardian, or Staff Member:
This notice is being distributed to comply with the New Jersey School Integrated Pest Management Act.
School District of Scotch Plains Fanwood Public Schools has adopted an Integrated Pest Management
(IPM) Policy and has implemented an IPM Plan to comply with this law. IPM is a holistic, preventive
approach to managing pests that is explained further in the schools IPM Policy included with this notice.
All schools in New Jersey are required to have an Integrated Pest Management Coordinator (IPM
Coordinator) to oversee all activities related to IPM and pesticide use at the school.
The IPM Coordinator for Scotch Plains Fanwood Public Schools
Name of IPM Coordinator: Anthony Miranda
Business Phone number: 908-322-4132
Business Address: 580 Park Ave Scotch Plains N.J. 07076
The IPM Coordinator maintains the pesticide product label, and the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)
(when one is available), of each pesticide product that may be used on school property. The label and the
MSDS are available for review by a parent, guardian, staff member, or student attending the school. Also,
the IPM Coordinator is available to parents, guardians, and staff members for information and to discuss
comments about IPM activities and pesticide use at the school.
As part of a school pest management plans Scotch Plains Fanwood Public Schools may use pesticides to
control pests. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the New Jersey
Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) register pesticides to determine that the use of a pesticide
in accordance with instructions printed on the label does not pose an unreasonable risk to human health
and the environment. Nevertheless, the EPA and the DEP cannot guarantee that registered pesticides do
not pose any risk to human health, thus unnecessary exposure to pesticides should be avoided. The EPA
has issued the statement that where possible, persons who are potentially sensitive, such as pregnant
women, infants and children, should avoid unnecessary pesticide exposure.
The following items must be included with this annual notice:
o A copy of the school or school district’s IPM policy.
o The date, time and place of any meeting if one is to be held for the purpose of adopting or
modifying the school integrated pest management policy or plan.

property.
