Safety review of public schools after new asbestos discovery
Education chiefs have ordered a safety review of public school facilities after another Cayman Islands high school had to be shuttered because of asbestos.
Pupils at Cayman Brac’s only high school will likely have to attend online classes from home at the start of next term after the potentially hazardous material was found in the school building.
It is the second consecutive year in which Caymanian students have been left without proper facilities because of asbestos. Last year, students at the Cayman Islands Further Education Centre were forced into makeshift classrooms at the Family Life Centre.
Now asbestos has been discovered at the Layman E. Scott Sr. High School on Cayman Brac.
