Queen Anne’s County Board of Education Public Notice
In October 1986, the U.S. Congress enacted the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA). Under this
law, comprehensive regulations were developed to address problems in public and private elementary and
secondary schools. These regulations required the Board of Education to inspect for friable and non-friable
asbestos, develop asbestos management plans and address asbestos hazards in school buildings and to
implement response actions in a timely manner. These regulations assign schools many responsibilities. The
Queen Anne’s County Board of Education’s program for fulfilling these responsibilities is outlined in the asbestos
management plan for each school. The plan contains information on the schools' inspection results, reinspection,
and related material to meet the requirements of AHERA. Management plans can be reviewed at
individual schools during normal school hours. The plans will also be available at the Board of Education Office
for review.
•Other similar information as defined by the Board of Education of Queen Anne's County
•Federal Law requires schools to provide military recruiters, upon request, with names, addresses and telephone listings.
