A decade spent making schools safer for kids

As team leader with HISD’s Risk Management department, Paul “Tony” Rease has spent the past decade making HISD schools safer by coordinating the removal of asbestos products from campus buildings.

The environmental consultant recently marked his tenth anniversary with the district, and he still derives a great deal of satisfaction from his job.

“Anything that was built prior to 1985, there’s a very good chance that there’s still asbestos in them,” explained Rease. “None had been remediated completely, because it was just too expensive. But I can remember being an ES student myself, and we used to throw our pencils up and stick them in the asbestos on the ceilings, then pull away handfuls of it when we got them down. I’m able to see that those sorts of conditions don’t exist in our district anymore.”

Rease officially marked his 10th anniversary with the district on Aug. 4, but several other employees are also marking theirs this week (Aug. 4–10).
