Here are the 24 sites Philly plans to use for students when displaced by asbestos

Seven Philadelphia School District schools have closed because of asbestos since March. Officials have warned that more could close as they catch up on delayed inspections.

Just days after Southwark Elementary, a school of 900 in South Philadelphia, shut for “several weeks” because of asbestos, the school system has circulated an internal list obtained by the Inquirer of 24 prospective “swing spaces” — buildings where it can shift students and staff if their school is forced to close temporarily.
