It is important to remember that not all asbestos needs to be removed from schools once materials have been identified. A program can be implemented to ensure that the material is maintained in good condition and that appropriate precautions are followed when the material is disturbed for any reason. Repair or removal is done by experienced and certified contractors in this type of work. After repairs or removal of asbestos, required testing of the air is completed to ensure that all of the school areas are safe of asbestos fibers.
Please realize that methods of removal are expensive and must adhere to E.P.A. regulations. Lincoln County Schools will address asbestos material in cases where the material is significantly damaged and the potential for disturbance is likely. We will continue to monitor asbestos containing materials condition. Periodic surveillance inspections are conducted every six months.
Located at each school is a copy of the school’s Management Plan. You may contact the school’s Principal for an appointment to inspect the plan. Every three years an accredited inspector completes a re-inspection of each school, which was completed in June 2018.
