ASBESTOS LEGAL NOTICE
LEGAL NOTICE The Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act requires that all school districts, public and private, inspect each building for asbestos containing materials, and provide annual notification. Management plans are then developed that outline how these materials, if present, will be handled. The Benton School District is committed to maintaining a safe and healthy environment for all children, employees, and guests in our schools. We will continue to inspect, monitor, repair, and abate areas which contain asbestos within the building material. Copies of our management plan and inspection reports are available for review at the Benton Schools Administration Building, 207 W. Conway Street
