NOTICE
Dear Parents, PTA, Allen Association of Educators, Allen Federation of Teachers, Building Occupants:
In compliance with the Environmental Protection Agency’s Asbestos Containing Materials in Schools Rule of October 30, 1987, the Allen Parish School Board wishes to notify you of the following:
1. Asbestos is a building material that has been used in floor tile, ceiling tile, insulation and several other materials for many years. Unfortunately, it has recently been learned that asbestos fibers can cause serious health effects if they are not sealed into a material.
2. KEMRON Environmental Services has conducted inspections of all school buildings for asbestos containing building materials. You may view a copy of the asbestos inspection report and action plan for your school by contacting your principal’s office.
3. The action plan, also known as an asbestos management plan, includes a description of any asbestos containing materials in your school, procedures for inspecting the school every six months, and a schedule for removing any existing asbestos materials.
4. We want you to know that we have instituted procedures that will insure that any asbestos remaining in your school will be maintained in a safe condition until it is removed. We will continue to keep you informed of new actions regarding asbestos.
If you have any questions about this program, you may contact your school principal, the superintendent or Asbestos Coordinator Eric Cole.
Sincerely,
Brad Soileau
Superintendent
