Education and Outreach
We are excited to present you with new, fun, and educational opportunities!
The District is eager to provide information on mosquito and other vector threats to the Coachella Valley. We can go to you, or you can come to us. Take advantage of our free educational opportunities.
We provide free informational materials, crafts and activities. Presentations are customizable to fit any setting. We have incorporated California Content Standards and The Next Generation Science Standards into our classroom and school-based lessons. Lessons are now available for all grades.
