Asbestos Management Program

Dear Parents, Guardians, Students, Staff and Faculty,

Per Department of State Health Services (TDSHS), School Facilities is requesting the posting of this notice.

 Plans are updated annually and copies maintained in the office of each building administrator for review. Additional copies are also located in the Maintenance Department.  Routine inspections are conducted as well as tri‐annual re‐inspections of all facilities.  Operations and maintenance procedures are implemented to ensure no building has asbestos‐containing material that poses a health threat to students, staff, or patrons.  It is a part of the district’s on‐going effort to renovate and remodel existing facilities.  Numerous renovations and additions have been completed which involved abatement of asbestos‐containing material prior to the general construction. In many of these buildings, the only asbestos material remaining is inaccessible until such time as the building is to be renovated, and then it will be safely removed prior to the renovation.

Following is a list of GISD facilities that are known to have some building materials containing asbestos:

Back Elementary Shorehaven Elementary Memorial Preparatory School Beaver Technology Center Shugart Elementary O'Banion Middle School Bradfield Elementary Southgate Elementary Webb Middle School Bullock Elementary Spring Creek Elementary Caldwell Elementary Toler Elementary Cooper Elementary Vial Elementary Naaman Forest High School Davis Elementary Walnut Glen Academy for Excellence North Garland High School Freeman Elementary Watson Technology Center South Garland High School Golden Meadows Elementary Weaver Elementary Handley Elementary Williams Elementary Hickman Elementary Hillside Academy Luna Elementary Austin Academy Cooperative Behavior Center Montclair Elementary Brandenburg Middle School H.
