Environmentally Safe Schools

In compliance with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA), public notification of the School System’s status for asbestos-containing building material (ACBM) is required. Since the completion of the original abatement work in 1987, no other ACBM has been
discovered. To prevent the remaining asbestos from being disturbed, the school system maintains an EPA-required Asbestos Management Plan and Asbestos Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Plan. An accredited AHERA inspector conducts inspections every six months, and required annual reports are submitted to
the Tennessee Department of Education. Refer any questions related to asbestos management to the Safety and Health Department at (931) 920-7836. Additionally, pesticides are used in the schools and on the grounds by a licensed, certified professional.
