The Board of Education recognizes its responsibility to provide students, employees, and visitors with a safe and healthful environment. Accordingly, the Board directs the Superintendent to ensure that the District satisfies its obligations to deal with asbestos building materials in any building that is leased, owned, or otherwise used by the District as a school building as required under State and Federal law including, but not limited to, the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act of 1986 ("AHERA"). To this end, the Board authorizes the Superintendent to designate an individual responsible for ensuring that the District satisfies its responsibilities under AHERA. This individual will, at a minimum develop and administer an Asbestos Management Plan as required by law. The Plan will address all requirements under AHERA including, but not limited to, inspection, reinspection, periodic surveillance, training and recordkeeping requirements.

The Superintendent will also ensure that at least once each school year, the District provides written notice to parents, employees and employee organizations regarding the availability of the District’s Asbestos Management Plan and any response actions taken or planned.
