In accordance with the EPA’s Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) of 1987

(40 CFR Part 763, Subpart E of the Code of Federal Regulations), School Districts are required

to give annual notification stating that the Asbestos Management Plan for each Building is

available for public review.

This rule requires local education agencies (LEAs) to identify friable and non-friable asbestos-

containing material (ACM) in public and private elementary and secondary schools by visually

inspecting school buildings for such materials, sampling such materials if they are not assumed

to be ACM, and having samples analyzed by appropriate techniques referred to in this rule.

In keeping with this legislation, the School District was inspected by EPA accredited inspectors

and a comprehensive management plan was developed for handling asbestos containing building

material in a safe and responsible manner. Six-month periodic asbestos surveillances as well as 3

Year Re-Inspections are performed in accordance with AHERA.

A copy of the asbestos management plan is currently kept in the Facilities/Operations and

Maintenance Department. These records are available for review during the normal school

business hours.
