The school was originally built in 1949 and has been undergoing major renovations over the last summer. Initial funding was assigned for asbestos abatement, however did not include the asbestos that was discovered at Charles Street and two other schools.Asbestos was discovered within the thin goose down coating of the plaster walls at Charles Street. Instead of removal, the school decided to cover the walls with a thick goose down coat of paint, encapsulating the asbestos. Measures such as this protect against asbestos becoming airborne until further plans for removal can be put in place.Charles Street School will open as planned on September 14 and a plan was created in the case that repairs might need to be done to the asbestos containing sections of the school, ensuring workers take measures to prevent the asbestos from becoming friable. Friable refers to any asbestos containing material that can be easily crumbled or reduced to dust by hand pressure when dry.


Any material that is friable and contains more than 1% of asbestos is required to follow federal and state regulations.Although the school would like to be asbestos free, until time and funds are available to provide for safe removal, encapsulating the materials should ensure the safety of students and school personnel. Current employees have been offered medical screenings, all affected areas have been cleared by certified asbestos workers, and air tests have come back negative for asbestos. Until next summer, these measures should keep everyone at school safe.
