'Several areas' of Lane Tech College Prep High School remained closed Friday after a Thursday evening evacuation due to a toxic substance found in a school bathroom.
Following a Thursday evening evacuation due to a toxic substance found in a school bathroom, classes at Lane Tech College Prep High School resumed as usual Friday, with a hazardous materials cleanup planned to continue in restricted areas over the course of the weekend.
Principal Edwina Thompson alerted students’ families with a pair of messages Thursday on the “small quantity of mercury” found and the response by the Chicago Public Schools Department of Facilities and a hazardous materials team, which prompted the school’s evening closure and cancellation of events.
In response to a Friday morning request for details on the mercury found and length of time it had been present, Chicago Public School referred to Thompson’s initial statement without providing additional information. The 47th Ward Democrats are due to host a forum of the Chicago mayoral candidates at the school Sunday evening.
