Facilities Use

Salmon River Central School District is an integral part of the community in terms of its intellectual and social expression and development.  To this end, the Salmon River Board of Education is pleased to support responsible community organizations, associations and individuals for appropriate civic, cultural, educational or recreational activities that do not interfere with the delivery of education and the best interests of the District.  The Board of Education encourages the public use of our school facilities within Board Policy guidelines, when they are not being used for district curricular and extra curricular activities.

In recognition of the community school concept, the District may allow the use of school facilities by community organizations with primary consideration given to youth-related activities for students who reside in the District.   Thereafter, the use shall be on a first-come, first-served basis of completed requests. The calendar will open to outside organizations at the start of our fiscal year, July 1st.

Pesticide & Asbestos Notifications

New York State Education Law Section 409-H, effective July 1, 2001, requires all public and nonpublic elementary and secondary schools to provide written notification to all persons in parental relation, faculty, and staff regarding the potential use of pesticides periodically throughout the school year. The Salmon River Central School District is required to maintain a list of persons in parental relation, faculty, and staff who wish to receive 48-hour prior written notification of certain pesticide applications.

The following pesticide applications are not subject to prior notification requirements: 

1. A school remains unoccupied for a continuous 72-hours following an application; 
2. Anti-microbial products; 
3. Nonvolatile rodenticides in tamper resistant bait stations in areas inaccessible to children; 
4. Nonvolatile insecticidal baits in tamper resistant bait stations in areas inaccessible to children; 
5. Boric acid and disodium octaborate tetrahydrate; 
6. The application of EPA designated biopesticides; 
7. The application of EPA designated exempt materials under 40CFR1 52.25; 
8. The use of aerosol products with a directed spray in containers of 18 fluid ounces or less when used to protect individuals from an imminent threat from stinging and biting insects including venomous spiders, bees, wasps, and hornets. 

In the event of an emergency application necessary to protect against an imminent threat to human health, a good faith effort will be made to supply written notification to those on the 48-hour prior notification list. If you would like to receive 48-hour prior notification of pesticide applications that are scheduled to occur in your school, please complete the form below.
