2026-2027

Annual Integrated Pest Management Pesticide Notification

Adrian Public Schools uses a licensed, professional pest control service firm for the prevention and control of rodents, insects, and other pests in and around the district’s buildings.

Pests can sting, bite, cause contamination, damage property, and spread disease; therefore, we must prevent their presence and control them as necessary. The district or outside contractors may also apply herbicides on district properties, as deemed necessary.

The long-term health effects on children from the application of such pesticides may not be fully understood.  All pest control materials are chosen and applied according to labeling directions per Federal law.

To limit the potential pesticide exposure, the district follows safety regulations to ensure pesticides are applied properly.  All pesticide products, which are used in and around school buildings, are required to be registered with the Minnesota Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.  In addition, school employees and certified and licensed applicators are required by state and federal law to comply with all requirements of the pesticide label, including building sites, application rates, re-entry intervals, posting, use of personal protective equipment, use restrictions, and disposal on the product label. An estimated schedule of pesticide applications is available for review or copying at the district office.

To be notified about pesticide applications or the management plan, please contact Mike Cook, District Head of Maintenance at (605) 376-9910

AHERA Annual Asbestos Notification

As a result of federal legislation (Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act-AHERA), each primary and secondary school in the nation is required to complete a stringent inspection for asbestos and to develop a plan of management for all asbestos-containing building material.

The Adrian Public Schools has had an Asbestos inspection and management plan prepared for all buildings in the district. These plans are available for public inspection Monday through Friday during regular school days and normal school hours in the District Office. The required six-month surveillance have been conducted to inspect the asbestos containing materials for change in condition. Any changes have been and will be noted on Periodic Surveillance Forms found in the Asbestos Management Plan. Also, the required three-year re-inspection of the asbestos containing materials has been conducted by an accredited inspector. An Operation and Maintenance program has been implemented by Adrian Public Schools and will continue to keep the asbestos containing materials located in the building in good condition.

Short-term workers (contractors who work in the school) must be provided with information regarding the asbestos in the school building prior to beginning work. If parents, staff, or students have any questions or concerns, please contact Mike Cook, District Head of Maintenance at (605) 376-9910.

Adrian Public Schools has an Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Management Plan.  The management plan outlines specific policies and procedures that will be used in the district to address indoor air quality issues.  IEA, the District’s health and safety consultant, completes annual IAQ assessments within the school to ensure proper air quality.

If you have any questions concerning IAQ, or would like to use the EPA Tools for Schools checklists, please contact the District IAQ coordinator:
