Asbestos Inspection

The Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) requires Kawananakoa Middle School to notify parents, teachers, and employees of the presence and status of asbestos containing materials in our school buildings.

In order to ensure that asbestos-containing materials do not pose a hazard to our students, faculty, and staff, periodic surveillances are conducted twice each year. Kawananakoa Middle School has recently completed the required six month surveillance as of June 28, 2012 and will complete the next required surveillance by December 31, 2012.  The results of the recently completed surveillance indicate there were no changes in the condition of the asbestos containing materials in our school buildings.

A copy of the inspection report and the Asbestos Management Plan is available for your review in our office during normal school hours.

Should you have any questions, please call Kawananakoa Middle School at 587-4430.
