(6)  PROTECT CHILDREN FROM PESTICIDES
INSIDE ALBEMARLE COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Take five minutes to protect children from
exposure to toxic pesticides in local
schools.
Please send an email to:
1. Jennifer Johnston, Clerk of School Board
jjohnston at k12albemarle.org,
2. Pam Moran, Superintendent
moran at k12albemarle.org
3. Diane Behrens, Building Services
Behrens at k12albemarle.org.

Tell Albemarle County Public Schools:
1.  to stop regularly applying neurotoxins
and suspected carcinogens where children
learn, as
other schools have, immediately.
2.  to take swift, decisive action
addressing the mounting evidence that indoor
pesticides may
pose a threat to the health of students,
teachers and staff,
3.  to foster a working relationship and
better communication on the use of
pesticides inside
buildings between administration,
principals, parents, students and teachers,
4.  and to make every effort to understand
the connections between these unnecessary
toxins and
our children's and teacher's health.
