The Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act of 1986 (AHERA) required the inspection of all buildings in the school district for asbestos.  The District has complied with this act.  A management plan documenting these inspections is on file for public review.  Upon request you may view the plan, which is located at the superintendent’s office and at each campus.  The Deer Creek Public Schools annually notifies all parents, teachers, and other employees by posting this notice.  Additionally, information regarding any asbestos related activities, planned or in progress, will be disseminated by posting a notice, or using handout bulletins, e-mails, flyers and /or using school newsletters.  The asbestos identified in our management plan will be checked regularly by a licensed asbestos company and by our staff to scrutinize any changes in the material, which could cause a health hazard.  We will continue to monitor the asbestos as defined by EPA guidelines.  If changes occur, our asbestos coordinator will notify the appropriate people as described by law.
