Extractions: The general public, federal, state and local governmental agencies, and environmental groups have expressed a growing interest in the pest management practices used in K-12 schools in the state of Minnesota. The Parent's Right To Know Act was introduced and passed in the 2000 Minnesota Legislature and includes recommendations for the use of integrated pest management in schools (see Developing an IPM Policy Statement for Your School The Working Group decided that a survey of pest management practices in Minnesota public and private K-12 schools was a good starting place to help identify current pest management practices because there was limited data on pest management practices in Minnesota K-12 schools. The MDA, with support of the Working Group, sought and was awarded funding in 1999 for the survey from the U.S. EPA, Region 5, Chicago, Illinois. The MDA took the initiative pursuant to its statutory authority contained in Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 17.114, Subd. 4, which states: "The state shall promote and facilitate the use of integrated pest management through education, technical or financial assistance, information and research." In 2000, the MDA received additional funding from the U.S. EPA to develop IPM fact sheets and a pilot half day IPM Training Workshop for school maintenance and health and safety personnel. In 2001, the MDA received funding provided from the Minnesota Future Resources Fund as recommended by the Legislative Commission on Minnesota Resources to further refine its IPM training curriculum and develop a day long IPM Training Workshop for school maintenance and health and safety personnel and additional IPM Fact Sheets.
