In compliance with the Environmental Protection Agency’s Asbestos Containing Materials in Schools Rule of October 30, 1987, and the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality’s LAC 33:111.27, we wish to notify you of the following:

  • Asbestos is a building material that has been used in floor tile, ceiling tile, insulation, and several other materials for many years.  Asbestos fibers can cause serious health effects if they are not sealed into a material.

  • The Assumption Parish School system has conducted an inspection of each school facility for Asbestos-Containing Building Materials (ACBM’s).  You may view a copy of the ACBM’s inspection report at any location within the district.

  • The action plan, also known as an asbestos management plan, includes a description of ACBM’s in the building, procedures for re-inspecting the building each six (6) months, and a schedule for removing any existing ACBM’s.

  • We want you to know that we have instituted procedures that will assist us in maintaining ACBM’s in the building in a safe condition until removed.  We will continue to keep you informed of new actions regarding ACBM’s.

If you have any questions about this program, you may contact the maintenance office at 985.369.7753 for further information.
