Superintendent Watlington announced the revelation in a letter to parents saying, 'They found that the records indicate asbestos damage has existed in the auditorium since June 2021, and possibly longer.'
Since Monday, Building 21 students have been going to Strawberry Mansion High School, but not everyone has been happy about it.
Watlington says the Pennsylvania Department of Education has approved the district's request to transfer students to virtual learning as the asbestos removal process continues.The majority of families cited safety concerns with traveling to Strawberry Mansion High School for in-person learning. However, in order to transition to virtual learning, Building 21 parents still need to provide the school district with a written excusal demonstrating their concerns."If you knew something like that why wouldn't you take heed when you found out about the situation?" asked Shaneka Lewis who lives across the street from the school.
Watlington says crews have conducted two types of air quality tests and they're still unacceptable while repairs go on.Related Topics
