In accordance with Section 763.84 of the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA), or the “Asbestos in Schools Rule,” Carman-Ainsworth Community  Schools  is notifying employees and building occupants, or their legal guardians, of activities conducted within the past school year involving the asbestos inspections, response actions, and post-response action activities, including periodic re-inspection and periodic surveillance activities, that are planned or in progress at School District facilities.

During the upcoming school year (the “2014 – 2015 School Year” – September 2014 through August 2015), Carman-Ainsworth Community Schools has planned the following activities related to asbestos-containing materials throughout the School District:

• Six Month Periodic Surveillances: Six month periodic surveillances will be completed every six months and continue on a regular six month schedule (next two scheduled rounds will occur in January and July of 2014 or 2015).

• Three Year Re-inspections: The EPA requires that each school district re-inspect all known and assumed asbestos-containing materials once every three years. The three year re-inspection activities for all Carman-Ainsworth Community Schools facilities were completed in July 2013.  Therefore, the next three year re-inspections are due in the summer of 2016.
