"New Rules for Salinas Schools — Reporting Pesticide Use" [1]

"In the pesticide-laden Salinas Valley, the new year brings a new requirement for schools and licensed child care centers.

Beginning Thursday, all schools and centers statewide are to report their annual use of pesticides to the Department of Pesticide Regulation. That goes for all 24 districts and 134 schools serving 69,000 Monterey County youth.

The requirement comes by way of amendments made to the state Healthy Schools Act."
