Pesticide Notification

The Margaretville Central School District takes an aggressive, yet precautionary, approach to dealing with pesticides in and around its school.

Any public or nonpublic elementary or secondary school that decides to use a pesticide product as a last resort in addressing a pest problem must comply with the Pesticide Neighbor Notification Law (section 409-h of the Education Law) effective July 1, 2001.

This notice is to inform all parents, guardians, and staff that pesticide products may be used periodically throughout the school year.

Any parents, guardians and staff who wish to receive a 48-hour written advanced notice from the school of an actual pesticide application should contact the Superintendent’s Office at 845-586-2647, Extension 10.
