FOND DU LAC SCHOOL DISTRICT
ANNUAL ASBESTOS NOTIFICATION
2022-2023 SCHOOL YEAR
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 that 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 District were inspected by EPA accredited inspectors, with building material samples analyzed by an independent laboratory. Based on the inspection, the School District prepared and the state approved a comprehensive management plan for managing the asbestos.
Where the asbestos-containing materials are found, the District has in place an Operations and Maintenance program.
The District has accomplished the following compliance mandates regarding the administration of asbestos in school buildings:
Environmental Management Consulting, Inc. (EMC) was contracted to be the District’s consultant for asbestos for the school year.
The District is continuing with the Operations and Maintenance Program as designed for the School District. This ensures that all asbestos materials are kept in good condition.
Periodic “surveillance” in areas containing asbestos has been completed every six months by our consultant. Buildings are also re-inspected by an accredited inspector every three years.
In the past year, the District conducted asbestos removal activities at Lakeshore Elementary School, Riverside Elementary School, STEM Academy (Franklin), and Rosenow Elementary School.
All outside contractors shall contact the lead maintenance person before commencing work. Our goal at the District is to be in full compliance with asbestos regulations.
A copy of the Asbestos Management Plan is available for review by contacting the District Office. Questions related to this plan or any other asbestos concerns should be directed to the District’s Designated Person,
John Williams, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday by calling 920-929-2887.
