In support of the State Board of Education’s imperative to increase the quantity and improve the

quality of educational options for Florida’s families, the Department is pleased to provide this

technical assistance paper (TAP) on Asbestos Regulations and Charter Schools. The TAP

provides guidance on federal regulations established to protect students, teachers, and other

school employees from exposure to asbestos within schools.

 

This document summarizes the Federal requirements and answers questions that the Department

is frequently asked about charter schools and asbestos regulations.

 

For additional information or questions concerning this TAP, please contact Karen Hines-Henry
