Steps
Confirm Texas law requires every school district to adopt an IPM program and designate an IPM Coordinator (texasagriculture.gov Structural Pest Control Service > School Integrated Pest Management)
Note IPM Coordinators must complete a School IPM Coordinator Training within 6 months of designation and 6 hours of continuing IPM education every 3 years thereafter
Confirm all pesticide applicators working on school grounds must hold a valid TDA structural pest control license appropriate to the work performed
Note treatment records from certified applicators/technicians/apprentices must be retained by both the business licensee and the district's IPM coordinator
Check schoolipm.tamu.edu for current coordinator-training providers, and confirm charter schools' inclusion under these rules per current TDA/TAMU guidance
Known gotchas
School IPM rules are a distinct regulatory layer on top of ordinary structural applicator licensing - holding a standard applicator license does not by itself satisfy a district's IPM Coordinator training or notification obligations
Other states have their own, differently-specified school IPM statutes (notification timelines, low-impact-pesticide lists) - don't apply Texas's 6-hour/3-year rule to another state without checking
