MTLSD promises to do better with the asbestos dust, sort of.

Building A, the school's oldest building and housed the North Gym, has been demolished. Building C, which is the newest building, and the one which many of us tried to save, is the next building to go. From the PG article, Mt. Lebanon high school renovation on track to 2016 completion:

At Monday’s school board meeting, Tom Berkebile, construction manager P.J. Dick Inc., showed photos of once was the office of superintendent Timothy Steinhauer, but now is empty in anticipation of the campus’ “C” building, which formerly housed administrative offices, being demolished. Work on that project starts Aug. 10, when Precision Environmental Co. will begin removing the building’s outer layer for asbestos abatement.

As usual, the Trib reporter goes into more depth in, Demolition of 'C' wing to begin at Mt. Lebo.

All the carcinogenic asbestos will be contained and removed from the site before the rest of the wing is knocked down, he said, and more dust controls will be considered. Neighbors complained about drifting dust from the earlier demolition of the high school's “A” building.

More dust controls will be considered? I wonder how many kids are going to get mesothelioma or silicosis. The June 8 update said that they kept the demolition debris wet enough to not bother the neighbors. Letters were sent out to neighbors informing them of the demolition.  I have been told that the county calls them, "Illegal Fugitive Emissions" when dust is visibly drifting off site. Here is the PowerPoint presentation of the Building A demolition.
