The Department Of Agriculture and Federal pesticides laws direct Royal School District to establish and provide a pesticide notification plan:

All students, teachers, staff, and parents are to be notified at the beginning of each school year as to the district policy when using pesticides, notification procedures, and how to contact someone in the grounds department with questions relating to pesticide use within the school district.
