The Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) was signed into law in 1987 and implemented by local education agencies on July 9, 1989. Since then, the San Diego Unified School District has made every effort to establish an effective asbestos management program. The efforts include periodic six-month surveillances, mandatory three-year reinspections by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) certified inspectors, and ongoing operations and maintenance activities to ensure protection for building occupants, custodians, and maintenance workers as recommended and supported by the EPA. The district maintains at each of its school sites and business facilities a copy of the asbestos management plan for the site/facility. The management plan may be reviewed by contacting the school principal or site administrator. Questions regarding management plan information or
concerns about asbestos conditions should be directed to
the district’s Designated Person, Brigitte Kirkman, at
(858) 627-7190. |
