Another Deadly Building found in Knox County

South-Doyle High:

KNOXVILLE (WATE) – Knox County Schools said South Doyle High’s School’s library is closed for the rest of the school year after asbestos was identified in insulation between the ceiling and the roof.

According to Wikipedia, the school was opened in 1991. Long after the hazards of asbestos were well known.  Former South-Doyle teacher Mike LaSorsa died of mesothelioma in 2011, two months after filing a lawsuit against the school system.  The schools denied the presence of asbestos throughout the trial.  While the revamped school went into operation in 1991, other parts of the school, built as long ago as the 1960s, do have asbestos that the school system still refuses to remove.

UPDATE: The school system has no plans to check further for asbestos.
