Federal regulations require that schools be inspected for the presence of asbestos, a toxic material that has been used in the construction industry for a number of years. This school has been inspected for asbestos containing materials and the results of the inspections are contained in the Asbestos Management Plan. This plan has been sent to the State authority in charge of Asbestos Abatement.

The Asbestos Management Plan includes the results of all the inspections conducted on all the school buildings. It also contains the results for the material samples, which were taken during the inspections, and the plan for asbestos abatement.

The Asbestos Management Plan is available for review during regular working hours at the school office. A copy of the Asbestos management plan will be made, on request, for a nominal fee to cover the cost of copying and handling.

Recent scientific and medical evidence has shown that asbestos-containing material can be harmful to the human body. The Asbestos Management Plan shows the amount of asbestos present in this school building as well as the specific location of the asbestos. Our Local Education Authority has decided to undertake a series of actions to reduce the amount of asbestos and the propensity for contact. These actions will significantly reduce the impact that asbestos-containing material can have and thus continue to maintain the standard of safety that is expected of this institution.
