Notification
of Asbestos Inspections
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Asbestos Hazard
Emergency Response Act (AHERA) requires all schools to inspect building
materials for the presence of asbestos. AHERA excludes schools from the inspection
requirement if the school was constructed after October 12, 1988, and has a
signed statement from the architect or project engineer responsible for
constructing the school stating “no asbestos-containing building materials were
specified for use in construction of the school.” The district has such
statements on file for all affected schools.
The EPA requires us to annually notify you that we are aware
of the AHERA regulation, and that we are in compliance. The Management Plans
for all buildings are available for your review at any time during normal
business hours (Monday-Friday 8:00 A.M. – 3:00 P.M.). They can be reviewed at
the Department of Operations,
