A SCHOOL in the Gladstone region has issued a notice to parents this week warning asbestos may be present in the flooring of one of its buildings.
Boyne Island State School principal Michael Hurst sent the note to parents on December 8.
The Observer is trying to find out when the asbestos was listed in the Built Environment Materials Information Register and when the school discovered it in the register.
“I am writing to advise you that I was required to temporarily restrict access to the
records storeroom of A Block (A4) due to damaged floor coverings,” Mr Hurst wrote.
