The listed medical facilities provide the level of communication required for successful injury management. SCOE has contractual agreements with these providers for reduced medical rates and by employees voluntarily choosing medical care from one of the providers, self-insuring workers’ compensation costs will remain the most cost efficient method of providing benefits to the injured workers.

IPM Statement

It is the goal of Stanislaus County Office of Education to implement IPM by focusing on long-term prevention or suppression of pests through accurate pest identification, by frequent monitoring for pest presence, by applying appropriate action levels, and by making the habitat less conducive to pests using sanitation and mechanical and physical controls. Pesticides that are effective will be used in a manner that minimizes risks to people, property, and the environment, and only after other options have been shown ineffective.

Pest Management Objectives:

• Focus on long-term pest prevention using minimal pesticides.
• Elimination of significant threats caused by pests to the health and safety of students, staff and the public.
• Prevention of loss or damage to structures or property by pests.
• Protection of environmental quality inside and outside buildings, in playgrounds and athletic areas, and throughout the Stanislaus County Office of Education facilities.

IPM Team

In addition to the IPM Coordinator, other individuals who are involved in purchasing, making IPM decisions, applying pesticides, and complying with the Healthy Schools Act requirements, include:

Pest Management Contracting

Pest management services are contracted to a licensed pest control business, as needed. Pest Control Business name(s): Paramount Pest Control and Clark Pest Control.

Prior to entering into a contract, Stanislaus County Office of Education has confirmed that the pest control business understands the training requirement and other requirements of the Healthy Schools Act.

Pest Identification, Monitoring and Inspection

Pest identification is done by: Tanner Mendoza

Monitoring and inspecting for pests and conditions that lead to pest problems are done regularly by the Custodians and Groundskeepers. The results are communicated to the IPM Coordinator.

Specific information about monitoring and inspecting for pests, such as locations, times, or techniques include:

• Monitoring for vertebrate pest debris by custodians in all work areas.
• Utilizing sticky monitoring boards for vertebrate and non-vertebrate pest activity. These are checked by custodians and results communicated to the IPM Coordinator.
• Monitoring of gopher and other vertebrate mounds in playgrounds, athletic fields, and other landscaped areas. These results are communicated to the IPM Coordinator.
• Monitoring buildings for wasp and hornet activity by the site custodians. Any activity is reported to the IPM Coordinator.

Pests and Non-Chemical Management Practices
