. But Principal Michael Calderone told families in a letter sent Thursday that more problematic asbestos was found, including on the ground floor where the school’s cafeterias are located, above ceiling tile and ductwork.
The school’s 900-plus students are currently learning virtually, and will continue to do so, but officials will “work in partnership with our school leadership team, teachers and families to try and identify a viable and supported alternative space for students and staff.” Calderone said he knew the closure was “difficult news” but said it was necessary for health and safety reasons.“We know you would rather be learning and working together,” Calderone wrote. “Spring is an important and wonderful time in the school year, and the district will do all it can to support Frankford students and staff to be able to execute milestone events and programming in other spaces.
