Students return to Brac high school following asbestos all-clear

Students are returning to Layman E. Scott Sr. High School on Cayman Brac after asbestos was removed from the premises.

The hazardous material was discovered in a section of the roof and in the tilework of one classroom during testing in late June.

Education Minister Rolston Anglin said at the time that there was likely no “immediate risk” from the asbestos, but added that the school buildings would be shuttered until remediation work was complete.

Students are understood to have been taught in a mix of online classes and in-person lessons at a different location.
