SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds that— 
(1) in 1992, the National Parent Teacher Asso-
ciation passed a resolution calling for the reduced 
use of pesticides in schools and calling on policy-
makers to consider all possible alternatives before 
using any pesticides; 
(2) the National Education Association and 
many other national public interest organizations 
have announced support for reducing or eliminating 
pesticide use in schools; 
(3) childhood cancer is continuing to increase at 
the alarming rate of 1 percent per year; 
(4) the overall incidence of childhood cancer in-
creased 27 percent between 1991 and 2002, making 
cancer the leading cause of childhood death from 
disease; 
(5) approximately 6,500,000 (or nearly 9 per-
cent of) children in the United States under the age 
of 18 have asthma, the most common chronic illness 
in children, double the percentage who were reported 
to have the illness in 1980, and the incidence of 
asthma continues to rise; 
(6) children are more susceptible to hazardous 
impacts from pesticides than are adults;

(7) numerous scientific studies have linked both 
cancer and asthma to pesticide exposure; 
(8) the Environmental Protection Agency has 
recommended the use of an integrated pest manage-
ment system by local educational agencies, which 
emphasizes nonchemical ways of reducing pests, 
such as sanitation and maintenance; 
(9) integrated pest management— 
(A) promotes nonchemical methods of pest 
prevention and management using least toxic 
pesticides after all other methods have been ex-
hausted; and 
(B) requires a notification process by 
which each student, parent, guardian, staff 
member, and teacher shall be notified of a pes-
ticide application; 
(10) parents and guardians have a right to 
know that there is an integrated pest management 
system in their children’s schools; 
(11) an integrated pest management system 
provides long-term health and economic benefits; 
and 
(12) parents and guardians wish to and have a 
right to be notified in advance of any use of a pes-
ticide in their children’s schools.
