Asbestos found in Saskatoon School

A Saskatoon school has found itself in some trouble with asbestos.

Classes had to be moved out of Ecole canadienne-francaise Monday and Tuesday.

Facilities Director Steve Ekoudi says kindergarten to grade seven students have been moved to Gustave Dubois High School.

“For the time being, they were using the gymnasium,” says Ekoudi. “Each space that we could find in the high school we put the elementary students over there.”

But it's back to the elementary school Wednesday.

“There is no reason to be concerned whatsoever about the quality of air or asbestos there,” Ekoudi assures.

The school is still deciding on whether to get rid of the asbestos now, or wait until the end of the school year.

Ekoudi says it all comes down to what's in the budget.
