Pesticide application notification
The Goshen Central School District is required to notify you when pesticide products may be used in school buildings throughout the year. Parents, guardians and staff may request a 48-hour advance written notification of certain pesticide applications, including the date and place the pesticide will be used, the name of the pesticide and its Environmental Protection Agency registration number, and who to contact
for more information.
If you want to be placed on the list, you may obtain a written request form in the main office of any school building or at the District Office, 227 Main Street, Goshen. You may request a form by mail by writing to the Director of Buildings & Grounds, C. J. Hooker Middle School, 41 Lincoln Avenue, Goshen, New York.
Asbestos inspection
In accordance with U.S. Department of Environmental Protection regulations, the district inspects all buildings that contain asbestos every three years and includes the results of those inspections in the asbestos management plan. The district is in compliance with the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA).
The asbestos in the district is monitored and inspected every six months to determine its condition and any need for repair or removal. The district uses only certified and licensed individuals for activities such as inspecting, repairing, handling and removing asbestos-containing materials.
Individuals interested in viewing the inspection reports may do so at any of our buildings’ main offices
or the Buildings and Grounds Department.
