Asbestos Management

 

The Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act of 1986 (AHERA) requires the inspection of all buildings in the school district for asbestos. The district has complied with this act. A management plan documenting these inspections is on file for public review. Upon request, you may view the plan which is located at the Operations office at 501 E 2nd St. in Owasso.

 

Owasso Public Schools annually notifies all parents, teachers and other employees by posting this notice. Additionally, information regarding any asbestos-related activities, planned or in progress, will be disseminated by posting a notice, or using handout bulletins, flyers and/or using newspaper public notice statements.

 

The asbestos identified in our management plan will be checked regularly by a licensed asbestos company and by our staff to scrutinize any changes in the material which could cause a health hazard. We will continue to monitor the asbestos as defined by EPA guidelines. If changes occur, our asbestos coordinator will notify the appropriate people as described by law.
