Thanks to Steven Aguilar with ABC Home and Commercial Services, Weslaco, we will be hosting a one-day school IPM coordinator training at the La Quinta in Mercedes.

This class fulfills Texas state requirements for IPM Coordinators under Texas Administrative Code (TAC), Title 4, Part 1, Chapter 7, Subchapter H, Division 7 School IPM (whether this is your first time, or you just need a refresher course). The course will help coordinators, school administrators and licensed applicators understand their role in the school IPM program and help prepare them for TDA inspections. The course will cover legal requirements for schools, an introduction to IPM, how to monitor your schools under the new requirements, and with specific information on pesticide safety and school grounds.
