Asbestos Removal Planned for Summer at Deer Path Middle School

LAKE FOREST, IL - Asbestos at Deer Path Middle School will be removed this summer after more than 60 years.

District 67 officials said carpeting and asbestos will be removed and replaced with new tile in the east building, the Lake Forester reports. The district will pay $266,000 to Husar Abatement for the removal. Asbestos has existed in the building since it was built in 1954.

The project is expected to take three weeks.

Similar Asbestos-removing projects have already taken place at other District 67 schools in recent years, including at the west Deer Path building, Everett, Sheridan and Cherokee.
