District Updates

INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT NOTICE

Frankfort School District #157-C complies with the Illinois Structural Pest Control Act,

the Illinois Pesticide Act, the Illinois Lawn Care Products Application and Notification

Act, and the Pesticide Application at Schools Act through the active involvement in an

Integrated Pest Management Program and an Outdoor Spraying and Fertilizer Application

Program. As part of this program, the District relies to the greatest extent possible on

non-toxic, biological, cultural and mechanical pest management practices as well as the

use of natural pest control agents. Chemical and airborne pesticides will be used only

when necessary, and as a last resort, with a preference given for products that are the least

harmful to human health and the environment. This practice applies to indoor and

outdoor pesticide, fertilizer, turf management or other similar applications or sprayings.

Such chemical and airborne applications will, if at all possible, be made only after normal

business hours or on weekends to minimize the exposure to any individuals who normally

access our buildings. As part of these programs, any individual(s) wishing to be placed

on a notification list for indoor sprayings, outdoor sprayings, or both, can contact the

Frankfort School District Business Office at 815-469-5922, ask for Sandy Pechtold, and

let her know you would like to be put on the IPM and/or Outdoor Spraying Notification

list for airborne spraying. By providing your name, address, phone number, and the

school district buildings and/or sites you would like to be notified about, the Maintenance

Department will attempt to contact you 96 hours in advance whenever possible, and no

less than 48 hours in advance when necessary, of any scheduled airborne or chemical

applications being undertaken inside or outside our buildings, or as soon as possible in the

event any emergency spraying applications are needed. If you have any questions or need

additional information please contact Curt Saindon in the District Office at 815-469-5922.

Prohibited Cell Phone Use in School Zones Per Public Act 096-0131, that became effective on January 1, 2011, the use of hand held cell phones or other similar electronic devices (except if used in “hands free” mode) when operating a motor vehicle in a school zone are prohibited (expect for certain emergencies and situations specifically delineated in the law). In general, you are not allowed to talk, text or surf the web with a cell phone or hand held electronic device while operating a motor vehicle in a school zone (unless the device is in hands free mode). If your car is in park then you are allowed to use such devices, but if the vehicle is engaged (even if it is stopped at the time) then you should not be using your cell phone or hand held electronic device. In order to minimize distracted driving and ensure the safety of our students, staff, parents and community members who may be in our school zones (either on the roadways or on school property), we are asking everyone to please follow these guidelines and adhere to the law. We had a few close calls last year and are asking everyone for their cooperation and support to ensure that a tragedy doesn’t occur. We are asking the Frankfort Police to assist us in enforcing this regulation, and after an initial education/warning period at the beginning of the school year, the Police Department and/or the School District reserve the right to issue citations to offenders. Again, we are asking for your cooperation and don’t anticipate issuing any citations, but we will do so if necessary. We are posting reminders of this law on the school zone signs throughout the school district. If you have any questions about the law or its enforcement please feel free to contact Curt Saindon, Assistant Superintendent for Finance and Operations, at 815-469-5922.
