As first reported by ABC on Thursday, the Syosset Senior High School on Long Island was evacuated and will be closed until April 7th due to the discovery of asbestos. A maintenance man became suspicious of material in garbage bags outside Syosset High School and alerted school officials, who had the substance tested and found it to be asbestos, a district spokesman said Thursday.
ADAO remains committed to increased asbestos awareness, improved regulatory compliance and enforcement to prevent exposure and thus eliminate diseases.
