By what date were LEAs required to submit a management plan?

Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) were required to submit a management plan by October 1988 as part of the regulations established by the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA). This legislation was enacted to protect students and staff from exposure to asbestos in schools, and the management plan was a critical component in ensuring that schools effectively managed and mitigated any risks associated with asbestos-containing materials.

The deadline targeted for submission was October 1988, which allowed schools to assess their facilities and develop a comprehensive approach to managing asbestos hazards. This requirement underscored the importance of maintaining a safe educational environment and holding institutions accountable for the health and safety of their occupants. Other dates listed either preceded or followed the requirement, but October 1988 represents the specific time frame mandated for LEAs to comply with this crucial aspect of asbestos management.
