  Policy Statement on Living Organisms
Teachers are expected to be knowledgeable about the proper care of organisms under study and the safety of their students.
Living materials distribution centers are an ideal way to continue the care of organisms.
This organism is currently restricted and it is necessary for teachers to obtain a permit from the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) to allow a supplier to ship them across state lines for classroom study and to maintain them in the classroom if they come from out-of-state.
