Seaford HS Asbestos Removal Moves Forward this Summer

An asbestos abatement project at Seaford High School first announced in May is moving forward this summer.

Seaford Superintendent Brian Conboy said in his administrative report during the July 11 school board meeting that Ronkonkoma-based 192 Branch Interior Services has been selected at a bid of $382,000 to perform removal of the asbestos in the 1957-built building. The project is being funded by $528,428 leftover from a $21.5 million capital improvements proposition that voters approved in December 2007.

Conboy said the the Seaford High School staff who work during the summer have been moved to other buildings in anticipation of the asbestos removal. He said the project should be completed well before when students are scheduled to return to school in early September.
