Asbestos Management Plan Pursuant to the requirements of the AHERA Act and the Management plan, section XV, titled Plan Distribution and Notification, the Local Education Authorities (LEA) is required to annually notify the public of the management plan availability and actions taken. To parents, students, teachers, staffs and their respective organizations: The Asbestos Hazards Emergency Response Act (AHERA) of 1987 identifies the school district as the Local Education Authorities (LEA) and requires such authorities and school districts to formulate a plan for the identification, inspection, re-inspection and maintenance of asbestos containing building materials used in many common building components and to provide a management plan /book for recording all pertinent information and documentation of these initial and ongoing observations and activities. AHERA also requires that the LEA make this plan available to anyone entering and using a district facility. Jacksonville School District #117 has complied with these Federal requirements for formulating such plans and has followed the guidelines for the inspection and re-inspections as proscribed in the AHERA Act. We provide ongoing maintenance, training of workers who may come in contact with asbestos materials, update the management plan as activities present themselves and contract with certified businesses for the testing and removal of known and found materials which may be disturbed during necessary repairs or projects. Each school site and district building has a management plan specific to that particular building. The plan/book is available to all interested persons and must be acknowledged by anyone who may provide services to that building and may disturb building systems, such as wall and ceiling finishes, thermal insulation, fire retardant compositions or floor tiles, identified as asbestos containing. Management plans are available in the main office of each school building. A second copy is maintained in the: Facilities Management office 516 Jordan Street Jacksonville, IL 62650 (217) 243-9411 Tom Hyde, Owner of Allen Services, is the LEA Designated Person (DP) and is available to answer or research answers for any questions about the management plan or ongoing maintenance and operations regarding asbestos containing building materials in our school buildings. You may contact Tom at (217) 787-9380; or visit the Maintenance office at 516 Jordan Street, Jacksonville, IL 62650. The plan requires six-month and three-year re-inspections to determine the condition of known or assumed asbestos containing building materials. Six-month inspections are ongoing. Our scheduled three-year inspections were completed in 2019. We continue to provide maintenance on non-friable materials, classified as short term, small-scale projects, including the cataloging, storage and disposal in approved landfills. Integrated Pest Management History For several years, School District #117 has contracted with commercial applicators for the continual control of pests in and around school facilities as well as ongoing turf management for the enhancement of our athletic fields. In addition, employees of the Department of Buildings & Grounds, School District #117, spray fences, sidewalks, and other areas of District property to reduce weeds. To facilitate these programs, it has required the use of airborne fertilizers and pesticides as well as bait products.

Provides that a school employee should be appointed to oversee pest management operations and record keeping. Section 10.3 - Describes the notification procedures which school districts are to perform two business days prior to any pesticide application in a school excluding anti-microbial agents and insecticide or rodenticide baits. Provides that notification is to be via a school registry of those participants (e.g., parents, guardians and teachers) who want to be contacted, or, in its absence, notification is to be to all parents, guardians and teachers in a school.
