Our Lady of Good Counsel School 42 Austin Place Staten Island, NY 10304 (718)447-7260
Dear Parents,
Although we may not realize it, asbestos is a common material in almost every building in our society. It is a fireproofing material, and it is often found in floor tiles. Additionally, it is used as an acoustical material to deaden sound. Under certain conditions, however when it is damaged, asbestos can become a problem.
Annually, we conduct inspections throughout the building to monitor the areas of the school that contain or may contain asbestos.
The Archdiocese of NY has spent over ten million dollars in the abatement of asbestos since 1983 (long before the current regulations) and will continue with its commitment to provide a safe environment for all of our students and employees.
