Asbestos regulAtioNs The Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA, Public Law 99-5190), enacted in October 1986, required the Environmental Protection Agency to develop regulations that provide a comprehensive framework for addressing asbestos problems in schools.

Therefore, the prevention of exposure to asbestos fibers at any level is a matter of concern to the district and the school community, requiring the implementation of a carefully planned and thorough program to safeguard school children and personnel. This includes assessment of the potential hazard; application of precautions designed to prevent exposure to asbestos fibers and systematic abatement of asbestos-containing materials.

Hence, emergency planners, engineers, and seismologists do not expect a repeat of the intensity of the 1811-12 series for at least 100 years or more. However, even though the chance is remote, experts estimate the chances for a repeat earthquake of similar magnitude to the 1811-1812 New Madrid earthquakes over a 50-year period to be a 7-10% probability.

SPeCiaL eDUCation reSoUrCeS Special education services, including speech, occupational and physical therapy, are provided by the Special School District in district schools and in the Early Childhood Education Center. Students can receive services from age three through 21. Special School District staff can be reached by calling their central office at 314-989-8100. If you think your child needs to be tested to receive special education services, call your child’s school counselor to request an evaluation. Schools are required to try several classroom intervention strategies before a child is referred for testing. Once a packet requesting testing is complete and the child is accepted for testing, it may take up to 90 days before the evaluation takes place. If the school feels your child doesn’t need an evaluation, you can request one by writing to the principal or to Janice Brooks, director of Diagnostic Related Services, Special School District of St. Louis County, 12111 Clayton Road, St. Louis, MO 63131.

The Webster Groves School District has a Parent Advisory Council for parents of children receiving special services. These parents meet regularly with the Special School District regional director and area coordinators to discuss services. They also receive regular updates regarding Special School District Board of Education issues, upcoming events and other information. If you would like to discuss special education services or the evaluation process with another parent, council members are a good resource.
