AMBLER, PA — An EPA test has discovered asbestos at the Mattison Avenue Elementary School in Ambler, Montgomery County. The school will remain closed to students and staff, pending further testing. Wissahickon School District officials said the square-inch piece of asbestos was not airborne but collected in a corner in the maintenance garage, attached to the elementary school. Further test results will be available Tuesday, said Superintendent Stanley Durtan.
“We’re taking an abundance of caution to ensure the health, safety and welfare of students and teachers,” Durtan said. “Keep in mind the EPA has not closed Mattison Avenue. The EPA did not advise the district to close the school Tuesday or Friday.”.
