Some students and staff at Cedar Rapids Washington High School may have been exposed to o asbestos during renovations last school year. A dnr investigation may lead to legal action against the School Distict and an Asbestos Removal company. A complaint started the investigation.

The district has insisted the work never exposed students or school staff to the material. But the litigation report from the dnr cited three times potential asbestos exposure happened during the school year in december 2014, Abatement Specialties used a negative air machine when cleaning up an asbestos containment area. It was apparently blowing air into the schl hallway rather than outside. But we dont know if any of that in april 2015 three air tests in the womens locker room failed two measured particulate overload and one measured high asbestos counts. But we dont know if this was an area any students of staff had access to. In may, the company hired to check on asbestos levels, shivehattery, found a substantial amount of asbestos debris s scattered throughout the boiler room floor. Again we dont know if anyone other than construction workers were near that area. The dnr litigationeport also says at least 119 construction workers and 7 subcontrtrtin g companies were on the school site in june and july when more testing showed high levels of asbestos. The district responded yesterday with a statememe that reads in part,t, at this time the district has not been provided with any information indicating that any individual has tested positive for asbestos as a result of donald trump says the us needs a complete ban on muslims entering the country.
