The first phase of the $977,000 project calls for asbestos removal and new floors, ceilings, wiring and lighting on the second and third floors of the original high school building constructed in 1965. Work is scheduled to be completed Aug. 19, four days before the start of the 2010-2011 school year.
A worker from Central Insulation checks lockers for dust after the floors and ceilings on the west end of the third floor were removed to get rid of asbestos. Electricians from United Electric move in June 16 to begin rewiring the first area of the high school cleared of asbestos. Each classroom in the original part of the high school is getting new electric wiring and lighting to go with new flooring and dropped ceilings.
