History

In 2019, the use of glyphosate-based weed-killing products at the schools was banned by the board. Concerns have been raised about the mounting litigation over the safety of glyphosate and conflicting research findings on the risk of cancer upon exposure to the product.[3] In 2018 a California jury awarded significant damages to a groundskeeper who argued that Monsanto provided inadequate warnings of cancer risks posed by the herbicides.[4]
