Asbestos tests keep JFK closed

John F. Kennedy High School in St. Michel, along with its business school, will be closed again Monday as the English Montreal School Board awaits results of inspections following the discovery of traces of asbestos in the air. The school was also closed on Thursday and Friday.

An asbestos-removal firm eliminated traces found in two ventilation rooms about three weeks ago, the board said last week. The rooms were deemed safe after airquality testing, but further precautionary tests in other parts of the building revealed other traces of asbestos.

The school board is to provide another update on Monday.
