From: Keith Bonkoski – Maintenance Supervisor/Asbestos Coordinator
Subject: Asbestos Awareness and Management Plan
The Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) requires all private and public elementary and secondary schools to inspect for asbestos containing materials in school buildings. The AHERA protocol also states that the Local Education Agency (LEA) perform a three-year inspection, and every six months a site surveillance inspection, and to provide notification to all parties concerned of any changes or updates. Parent and employee notifications must be made on a yearly basis. During the school year there may be asbestos removed from this site if a response action is required or if there are renovations.
The Mesa Public Schools Management Plans are available for review at the Operations Building located at 555 South Lewis Street in Mesa. Your site specific Management Plan is located at each school/site Administration Office.
Although some material containing asbestos might be found at your site, it presents no health hazard to students or staff. This material is inspected every six months, as stated.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact me at 480-472-6014.
Thank you,
