Students and staff will temporarily relocate to the 926 W. Sedgley Avenue building.
"While extensive asbestos repair, abatement and testing has been successfully completed atSullivan, the second floor stairwell (south end of the building) and Rooms 110 and 214 need additional work. The Operations Team will continue to reclean and retest these areas. This work may take about three days," the school said.
