SMS asbestos tests come back clean
SANDPOINT — After testing for possible discovery of asbestos at Sandpoint Middle School, the building is safe for occupancy, Lake Pend Oreille School District officials said.
“We have received the SMS lab test report, along with air samples taken at the school today,” LPOSD Superintendent Dr. Becky Meyer said Monday. “We are happy to report that the building is safe for occupancy. The samples indicate clear air circulation at SMS.”
After potential discovery last Tuesday, officials closed off an entire side of the middle school, notified families of schedule changes, and requested expedited test results. On Monday, Feb. 19, Meyer sent out a notice saying that independent lab testing results were returned indicating that active school operations may resume.
