US EPA released its strategic plan for school IPM this week,
detailing the Agency’s leadership role reducing pest and pesticide risks to
children and staff. EPA has committed to creating a clearinghouse for
existing tools and information, increasing demand for school IPM by working
with state agencies, school-related professional associations and others, and
creating a center of expertise for school IPM based in Dallas, Texas. The
Agency has also committed to growing four stakeholder-led working groups that
have advocating for and supporting adoption of high-level IPM in schools since
2007 with funding from EPA, the USDA Regional IPM Centers, the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention and others. EPA’s strategic plan can be downloaded
