Business and Non-Instructional Operations
Hazardous Substances
The Governing Board recognizes that potentially hazardous substances
are used in the daily operations of our schools. The Superintendent or
designee shall ensure these substances are inventoried, used, stored and
regularly disposed of in a safe and legal manner.
Insofar as possible, the Superintendent or designee shall minimize
the quantities of hazardous substances stored on District property and
shall substitute less dangerous materials for hazardous substances.

Hazard Communication Program
The Superintendent or designee shall develop, implement and monitor
a written hazard communication program in accordance with state law. As
part of this program, he/she shall ensure that employees are fully informed
about the properties and potential hazards of substances to which they
may be exposed and that materials safety data sheets are readily accessible
to them.
Teachers shall instruct students about the importance of proper
handling, storage, disposal and protection when using any potentially hazardous
substance.
