All public schools are required by law to notify students and parents concerning asbestos.  It has been determined by the Illinois Department of Public Health and the Federal Environmental Protection Agency that asbestos is a potential health hazard, and precautions should be taken to avoid disturbing any asbestos containing materials.

As required, Bloomington High School was initially inspected for asbestos.  Our inspection was conducted on May 2006.  The AHERA law requires that a visual surveillance of asbestos containing areas be completed every six months, and a re-inspection conducted every three years.  Any evidence of disturbance or change in condition will be documented in the Management Plan as required.

The Bloomington High School Asbestos Management Plan is available for public review at the Director of Buildings and Grounds Office located at the District 87 Education Service Center.  Persons wishing to review the plans should call to make an appointment during office hours.  Any concerns related to asbestos containing materials should be directed to the District Director of Buildings and Grounds.  The address and phone number are listed at the front of this handbook.
