The low ceilings in the mobile units made it necessary to stop hold ing classes in them immediately, Fulp said. "There was a high likeli hood that asbestos could be dis turbed and become airborne," he said. "People could stick pencils up into the ceilings." For the last six weeks of school, the classes normally held in the mobile units were held in gymnasi ums, libraries, and wherever there was room, Fulp said. A federal law passed in 1986 Jacted strict requirements for s inspections and the time- me in which action had to be 1 if'asbestos was found, Fulp If the potential for danger Prior to the passage of the 1986 law specifying inspection require ments, school systems had little motivation to extensively inventory all asbestos-containing materials. "They concluded that it must be done, and it justifies the expendi tures," Fulp said. "It's rare to find asbestos in that (1966) model. They had previously concentrated inspec tions on places like steam lines." Schools began eliminating the use of asbestos in construction materials in the 1970's, Fulp said. The units had been used by the county since they were new, county school facility planner J.G. Brinkley said. ’ublic housing youth Jttend ABCD Institute On July 17, 1988, a team of pen youth from four public hous- |j[g communities attended the ^CD Institute in Durham, NC.
