Parents Gain Right to Know about pesticides used in or around school campuses.




CALIFORNIA SAFE SCHOOLS & 1-888-NO-POISON

Did you know that both the Environmental Protection Agency and the National Academy of Sciences have voiced concern about the dangers that pesticides pose to children? A California law now gives you the right to be notified before your child’s school uses a pesticide. Protect your child’s health by calling your school today to request pesticide notification.

Learn about the problems with pesticides and safer options from the School Pesticide Reform Coalition at http://www.nopoison.org or at 1-888-NO-POISON.
