Oke DUBLIN-4he Huron -Perth County Rom -an Catholic Seaprate School Board is grappling with problem of asbestos. It is checking to see whether or.not there are fibres circulating in the air in any of the 19 schools in the system. According to William Eckert, director, of education, the Ministry of Education did not give any guidelines, but ordered the board to assess the potential for asbestos fibre release into the environment at each school. The directqr said td date three schools have been Checked andihe other 16 will be looked at, lle said the -check has been visual and samples have been sept for assessment of asbestos ontent. Edward, .Rowland, coor- dinator.. of plaht and assess- ment, explained to board members the samples were of ceiling tiles. "We don't know. how much asbestos is in our ceiling tiles or if the asbestos is sealed or how much is escaping." Mr. Rowland said he had tried to get someone to take air samples in the schools, but couldn't find anyone to do the testing for asbestoslibre.s. He said the ministry has not asked the board to take air samples. He reported •the ceiling"' tiles were,cheeked to see whether they are flaky or loose. Mr. Eckert said the three schools tested were Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Dashwood;. St. • Columban and. St. Boniface, Zurith. The board considered whether a sealant should be applied to areas in the schools where asbestos is exposed or if it, should retain an"... ar- chitectural firm to identify and assess tie extent of any other asbestos hazards which might exist in the schools and to prepare recommendations for correcting thew . Trustee Tim McDonnell asked whether the trustees and staff could not do the testing themselves and save a great deal of money. Mr. Eckert agreed it would, save money, but pointed out, "We are not experts in these matters." It was estimated that siiray, painting the tiles to seal in asbestos fibresin the three' \ schools would 'cost $11,500. However Mr. Rowland ex- plained that painting the tiles would destroy their acoustic and fir retardant properties. The fire rearshall's office . would have to check any painted tiles to determine , whether the school could keep its fire rating. , Trustee Keith Montgomery of Wingham said he would like to see. all 19 schools checked. "I'd like to know about them all." John • O'Lea'ry of Strat- ford inquired •how big the 'problem appears to be. Mr. Rowland said in „their testing the architects are going behind regiSters, hot air vents, furnaces and ceiling tiles. He said if asbestos is. • found- in the schools, it is dangerous.' Mi. Eckert reported the University of Western Ontario • had offered testers to go over the schools at a reasonable . cost,' -however . the. board members wondered whether the architects mighf offer a better solution .• In the end it was left up to the building committee to come up with a solution: Mr. Eckert said the schools would be examined and the, results,, as well as recom- mendations and cost estimates, made available. Then the board could decide what course to follow and apply to the ministry • for grants to help cover costs. In other business, the board will be opening a summer school for students who need special education services. It will be held at St. Patrick's School, Dublin, with students from Huron attending July 3 to 25 and Perth students' July 29 to August 21.
