Demolition work involving asbestos in Cascais leads parents to pull children from school inaugurated 15 days ago
Demolition work on the old Cascais Secondary School, which involves removing asbestos-containing materials, began on Thursday despite a DGS health advisory suggesting classes should be interrupted during the process. The school group director confirmed the works will last eight weeks, while parents have expressed concerns over student safety, noting that while staff are wearing masks, students are not equipped with them.
Why it mattersIf you are a parent with children at this school in Cascais, the current construction work involving hazardous asbestos removal may pose health concerns for students, and the school administration has so far proceeded with classes despite a health authority recommendation to consider suspending them.
