In TX, the school IPM rules require that schools set thresholds and have action steps to take depending on the specific pest problem.  Management plans helps schools and their applicators not stay in a routine of spraying or applying the same product over a period of time.  Management plans also help serve as guidance documents to engage other departments, staff and teachers their roles in pest problems.  Another requirement of the TX school IPM rules is that school district’s also have a written IPM program.  The written IPM program is separate document from the IPM Policy statement adopted by the school board.  The program document should be designed to assign more roles for the IPM program and assist with communication between departments.
