PESTICIDE & ASBESTOS NOTIFICATIONS
Dear Parents, Guardians and School Staff: July, 2016
The New York State School Pesticide Neighbor Notification (PNN) Law requires an annual notification process for all faculty, staff and parents regarding the use of pesticides in public and nonpublic elementary and secondary school buildings and grounds.
A summary of the School PNN Law (including which pesticide applications are excluded from notification) is on file at the Academy of Mount St. Ursula. Mrs. Duggan, Assistant Principal, is designated to act as the school pesticide representative and is the school contact for any pesticide application questions.
Any individual may request to receive 48-hour prior notification of certain pesticide applications by adding their name to a registry kept by Mrs. Duggan. At present, pesticide applications take place weekly and are not subject to prior notification requirements.
In 1988, the federal government required that every school in the country conduct an inspection for all asbestos-containing materials and make the results of that inspection accessible to the parents. Additionally, the law requires schools to formally inspect the asbestos containing materials semi-annually.
Our most recent inspection, 7/18/12 (valid for 3 years), revealed that all asbestos containing building materials are intact or are in Priority III condition indicating that only ongoing inspections are needed to assure proper maintenance for the future.
The well-being and safety of the students and staff are of primary concern regarding these and all health – related issues.
Sincerely,
Sr. Jean Marie Humphries, osu, PhD ‘89
Principal (see reverse)
