Collaborating in Community - Cultivating Equity - Inspiring Excellence
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a process for achieving long-term, environmentally sound pest suppression through various tactics.
Because the health and safety of our students and staff is our first priority - and a prerequisite to learning - it is the policy of the Centennial School District to approach pest management with the least possible risk to students and staff.
In addition, Senate Bill 637 requires school districts to implement integrated pest management in schools. Centennial has an integrated pest management plan for use on its campuses.
