Asbestos removal underway at Greenall High School

Workers are continuing to remove asbestos insulation that was disturbed during an August wind storm that rocked the Greenall High School, east of Regina.

A portion of the building's roof was affected by the storm and asbestos insulation was disturbed.

According to Lyle Stecyck, a superintendent from the Prairie Valley School Division, air quality in the building is being tested and no issues have been recorded.

"I'm sure there are questions," Stecyck said Monday. "Personally I would have questions [as] it would be of a concern to me. But again we want to be out front: if anything came back that was a red flag we'd take the necessary action."

While there have been reports of students complaining of itchy eyes, the school division said testing has not revealed any concerns.

"They have my commitment that we will do whatever we can to ensure that safety and health of our occupants," Stecyck added.

Clean up from the storm is expected to be completed this week.
