Elementary School Closed Over Asbestos Concerns

Reporting
Harold Hayes
MUNHALL (KDKA) ― The Steel Valley School District is closing Park Elementary School in Munhall tomorrow because of concerns about asbestos.

At a school board meeting Tuesday night, a number of parents asked what would be done to keep students safe.

Asbestos was discovered during roof work at the school and the project manager tried to assure parents that the problem was contained. School Board President Pam Terrick wanted to know why the project wasn't finished before school started as promised.

In the end, Superintendent William Kanavey ordered Park Elementary closed Wednesday while the district gets more answers from the contractor and the Allegheny County Health Department.

No word yet on how long the school may be closed.
