Asbestos Management Plan
Glastonbury Public Schools is required to notify parents that the schools have been inspected for asbestos-containing materials. This is in accordance with 40 CFR 763.93(i) of the Environmental Protection Agency AHERA regulation, and 19a-333-1-13 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies (RCSA). Our buildings are thoroughly re-inspected every three years by licensed asbestos inspectors following the same criteria as the original inspection. A copy of the Asbestos Management Plan is available in each school office. You may also click here to view the district's Asbestos Management Plan documents. For additional information or questions, please contact the Asbestos Designated Person for the Glastonbury Public Schools asbestos program Director of Operations/Maintenance Albert Costa at (860) 652-7992.
