Integrated Pest Management Program (IPM)
Connecticut implemented State Legislation to reduce, to the greatest extent possible, the number of pesticides and herbicides used in and around public schools in July of 2000. The Greenwich Public Schools Board of Education has a current policy regarding the implementation and administration of a district-wide integrated pest management program (IPM program). Legislation was later passed that restricts the use of herbicides on school grounds in grades K through 8.
