Asbestos
Asbestos Management Program (AHERA Compliance) In order to protect the health of Seattle Public School students, staff and the general public, all asbestos containing materials are carefully managed in accordance with the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA). Since the passage of AHERA in 1988 the District has had an asbestos management program that includes routine inspections and remediation of asbestos-containing materials. Detailed information regarding asbestos-containing materials at District buildings is maintained in the Asbestos Management Plan. The Asbestos Management Plan is available for review in the main office of each school site as well as the John Stanford Center for Educational Excellence (2445 3rd Avenue South).
