Asbestos Hazard Response Act

In accordance with the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act you are being notified that all of the District facilities house various amounts and types of asbestos-containing building materials. These materials do not pose any hazard to individuals unless they are disturbed.

The District maintains compliance with all applicable governmental and regulatory asbestos rules and regulations. The District also maintains compliance with the Illinois Department of Public Health guidelines for operations and maintenance activities. The District routinely performs operations and maintenance activities, required inspections and surveillance activities to verify that the materials are being managed according to Illinois Department of Public Health guidelines.

Each individual school and the Buildings and Grounds Department have on file copies of the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act Asbestos Management Plans which describe the locations of all asbestos-containing building materials. These plans are available for viewing by all interested parties. Contact your school or call Mr. Seymour Schwartz, Director of Buildings and Grounds, for assistance 847-718-7619.
