EAST CLEVELAND -- Prospect Elementary School in East Cleveland was closed

Tuesday morning due to concerns that asbestos may be contaminating the air.

The superintendent says a problem was found late last week and inspectors

were called in. They decided to close the school while more tests were being

done.

The tests showed there was no asbestos in the air, but some were still upset

because the school has been open during renovations over the past year.

Parents wondered if their children may have been exposed to something

dangerous during the renovations.

Testing is now finished and students are expected to report to school

Wednesday morning for classes.
