Asbestos

Annual Asbestos Notification

Under AHERA (Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act), all primary and secondary schools are required to develop and implement a plan for managing all building materials which contain asbestos. Included in the AHERA Act is the requirement to annually notify all workers and building occupants (or their guardians) of asbestos-related activities.

Beginning in 1988, all buildings owned, leased, or “under the control of” the School ��ϲʽ�� were inspected by EPA accredited inspectors, with building material samples analyzed by an independent laboratory. Based on the inspection, the School ��ϲʽ�� prepared and the state approved a comprehensive management plan for managing the asbestos.

Where the asbestos-containing materials are found, the ��ϲʽ�� has in place an Operations and Maintenance program.

The ��ϲʽ�� has accomplished the following compliance mandates regarding the administration of asbestos in school buildings:

Environmental Management Consulting, Inc. (EMC) was contracted to be the school’s consultant for asbestos for the school year.
The ��ϲʽ�� is continuing with the Operations and Maintenance Program as designed for the School ��ϲʽ��. This ensures that all asbestos materials are kept in good condition in good condition.
Periodic “surveillance” in each area containing asbestos has been completed every six months by our consultant. Also, the buildings are re-inspected by an accredited inspector every three years.
In the past year the ��ϲʽ�� conducted the following asbestos removal activities:
- Window removal projects consisting of the following buildings: Bose Elementary, Hillcrest, Jeffery Elementary, McKinley Elementary, Southport Elementary, Washington Middle, Whittier Elementary and Wilson Elementary.
- AC projects: Harvey and Roosevelt Elementary
- HVAC Controls: e-School, Lincoln Middle and Reuther/Harborside
- Boiler Door Insulation: K-Tec West and Lincoln Middle
- Floor Mastic: Bradford High

All outside contractors shall contact the lead maintenance person before commencing work. Our goal at the ��ϲʽ�� is to be in full compliance with asbestos regulations.

A copy of the Asbestos Management Plan is available for review by contacting the ��ϲʽ�� Office. Questions related to this plan or any other asbestos concerns should be directed to the ��ϲʽ��’s Designated Person. Laurie Krueger, lkrueger@kusd.edu.

Protection of Pupil Rights

- Political affiliations or beliefs of the student or student’s parent;
- Mental or psychological problems of the student or student’s family;
- Sex behavior or attitudes;
- Illegal, anti-social, self-incriminating, or demeaning behavior;
- Critical appraisals of others with whom respondents have close family relationships;
- Legally recognized privileged relationships, such as with lawyers, doctors, or ministers;
- Religious practices, affiliations, or beliefs of the student or parents; or

- Activities involving collection, disclosure, or use of personal information obtained from students for marketing or to sell or otherwise distribute the information to others.

The ��ϲʽ�� No. 1 (��ϲʽ��) has adopted policies, in consultation with parents, regarding these rights, as well as arrangements to protect student privacy in the administration of protected information surveys and the collection, disclosure, or use of personal information for marketing, sales, or other distribution purposes. ��ϲʽ�� will directly notify parents of these policies at least annually at the start of each school year and after any substantive changes. ��ϲʽ�� will also directly notify, such as through U.S. Mail or email, parents of students who are scheduled to participate in the specific activities or surveys noted below and will provide an opportunity for the parent to opt his or her child out of participation of the specific activity or survey. ��ϲʽ�� will make this notification to parents at the beginning of the school year if the ��ϲʽ�� has identified the specific or approximate dates of the activities or surveys at that time. For surveys and activities scheduled after the school year starts, parents will be provided reasonable notification of the planned activities and surveys listed below and be provided an opportunity to opt their child out of such activities and surveys. Parents will also be provided an opportunity to review any pertinent surveys. Following is a list of the specific activities and surveys covered under this requirement:
