NOTICE TO PARENTS AND ELIGIBLE STUDENTS OF THE NORTH SYRACUSE CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT NEIGHBOR NOTIFICATION LAWThe district is required to provide notice to students, staff and persons in parental relationships about pesticide application. You may register to receive written notice 48 hours prior to any pesticide application by calling (315) 218-2174 and leaving your name, complete address and phone number.

You may wish to discuss with the designated school representative what precautions are being taken to protect your child from exposure to these pesticides. Further information about the product(s) being applied, including any warnings that appear on the label of the pesticide(s) that are pertinent to the protection of humans, animals, or the environment, can be obtained by calling the National Pesticide Telecommunications Network Information Line at 1-800-858-7378 or the New York State Department of Health Center for Environmental Health Information Line at 1-800-458-1158.”
