The School District of Philadelphia is investing $19.9 million to get Frankford High ready for the 2025-26 academic year. Here's what they are doing.
'Though much of the asbestos-containing materials in Frankford will be removed or enclosed during this project, some asbestos containing material will remain in the building,' the School District of Philadelphia said
“Frankford has been an important and historic center for learning for more than a century in Philadelphia, and we are confident this investment will enable us to safely reopen the building to students and staff,” Chief Operating Officer Oz Hill said.students will eventually be able to learn again in the full school building thanks to a nearly $20 million rehab to address asbestos in the century-old building. But, they need to wait another year for that to happen.
"The asbestos abatement, which will involve some repair, removal, and enclosure, will begin once the current school year ends," the district said. "All asbestos abatement work will be done during the summer or after school hours when no students and staff are in the building."Removal of plaster ceiling in corridor and classrooms
