School’s out

A carpenter worked in front of Pine Middle School on Dec. 29. At left is a Dumpster for asbestos, which became a problem when it was exposed by peeling tiles damaged by flooding caused by a pipe that burst, possibly as a result of seismic activity. Also working at the site are property restoration and environmental cleanup firms. Just east of the school building, students’ desks and other furnishings and loose property were being carried from the school and stored in a lineup of large metal storage containers. At press time it was not known how long the school will be closed for repairs.
