Asbestos found in Alpena High School

Just days before the first day of the new school year, asbestos dust was discovered inside of Alpena High school. The contaminated dust is currently being cleaned up and tested by professionals. This will not delay the first day of school for students. Air and dust samples were tested to determine if there was any contamination and the results showed there was no contamination in the air. The area of the school that was contaminated is known as the “B-wing” and it will be closed off until further notice. Students whose classes were scheduled in the B-wing will have their classes relocated to different parts of the building.
