Annual Notification: Asbestos Management Plan
In the fall of 1989, in compliance with the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Asbestos Hazards Emergency Response Act (AHERA), the school system had inspections conducted in each of our school buildings for the purpose of identifying asbestos-containing building materials. Here is the notification for this year’s inspection - 2020 Notification.
