8 Sec. 10.3. Integrated pest management in schools grants
9 program. On or before November 1, 1999, the Department shall
10 issue a request for proposal that invites schools to submit
11 proposals for structural improvements to school facilities

18 operate for a period not to exceed 3 years.
19 The Department shall give priority to proposals that
20 address structural improvements critical to the effective
21 implementation of an integrated pest management program. In
22 determining the most viable proposals, the Department may
23 consider the extent of the pest management problem in the
24 applicant school, the extent of the school's commitment to
25 provide other needed elements of an integrated pest
26 management program, and the school's budget constraints.
27 The Department shall hold at least 2 informational
28 meetings in the State to publicize the existence of this
29 integrated pest management in schools request for proposal
30 and shall provide technical assistance to any potential
