New York State Law, Section 409-F, effective July 1, 2001, requires all public/non-public elementary and secondary schools to implement an Integrated Pest Management Program/Plan (IPM), and requires that, periodically throughout the school year, we provide written notification regarding potential use of pesticides, to all students, persons in parental relationship, faculty and staff.
CiTi will develop and maintain a “Pesticide Notification List” of all persons who have requested the written notification 48 hours prior to application of certain pesticides. To be placed on this "Pesticide Notification List" complete the Pesticide Notification List form and return to the school.

As required by state and federal law, the Oswego County Legislature has developed an emergency preparedness plan in the event of a natural or man-made disaster. In particular, this plan addresses the possibilities of any type of situation at the nuclear power plants near the City of Oswego. The Center for Instruction, Technology & Innovation (CiTi) is part of this plan as our main campus and some of our satellite facilities are located within the radius of the ten-mile emergency-planning zone (EPZ) of the Nine Mile Point nuclear power plants.
In the event of a radiological emergency, it is recommended by the County and/or State Department of Health that potassium iodide be given. If for any reason you DO NOT wish for your child to be given potassium iodide (KI) in the event of a radiological emergency please complete the Potassium Iodide Form to the right of this page and return to the school. If KI use is recommended by health officials, your student WILL RECEIVE KI unless the form is returned.
