Unexpected asbestos slows Wapato High School demoliton project
WAPATO, Wash. -- KIMA learned construction and asbestos clean up at Wapato High School will continue into the school year as crews are running behind schedule.
District officials say crews fell behind schedule this summer when they ran into some unexpected asbestos.
Clean-up and demolition was scheduled to wrap up before the school year began.
"The student safety issues, staff safety issues, are all up to city codes.
What we're really struggling with is the traffic flow and student traffic patterns," said \Dan Murray, Wapato Schools Assistant Superintendent.
This phase should be done by the end of next week. The next part of the remodel will begin soon after.
