Could I get in trouble for this?

They only have to do that if it is exposed or disturbed. If it's going to float in the air, and it's a fine powder, then yeah they have to keep everyone way out and go in like there is uranium in there. If they're just working in the area near sealed asbestos they don't have to do that.

I remember walking by Davis Hall one day and seeing the guy in the HAZMAT suit walking out of the side door. I decided I would never be walking in Davis Hall again. :laugh2:

I wouldn't be complaining if the asbestos was solid. My house has asbestos shingles for siding. The problem is, during abatement, dust is inevitable. The sections of the school where there has been abatement were not sealed off or isolated during. In fact, in "c-wing", where the majority of the construction is going on (nicknamed "cancer wing"), people are still using their lockers, and have been since the beginning of the year.

Make sure it's not something similar looking like drywall dust. The concept of the school just letting airborne asbestos float around is almost unimaginable. The litigation alone resulting from that would bankrupt a town and send officials to prison.
