Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School was established in 1990. Also see page 5 of this EPA .pdf document on asbestos regulations in Florida. Looks like they might have some wiggle room. Wonder if any former students have developed mesothelioma. Just a conspiracy theory for now, it might be a rabbit hole to nowhere.
so..when did they stop using asbestos in new construction?
In 1973, under the EPA's Clean Air Act, most spray-applied asbestos products were banned for fireproofing and insulating purposes. And in 1989, the EPA issued the Asbestos Ban and Phase Out Rule
(article continues)", which hoped to impose a full ban on the manufacturing, importation, processing and sale of asbestos-containing products.
Unfortunately, in 1991, asbestos industry supporters challenged and overturned the ban in a landmark lawsuit: Corrosion Proof Fittings v. the Environmental Protection Agency. Although the case resulted in several small victories for asbestos regulation, the EPA ultimately failed to put an end to asbestos use."
So if the school was established in 1990, construction may have been completed prior to the 1989 ban, which was later overturned. I wonder if they complied with the '89 ban.
I always thought that asbestos was banned too. I don't know if I'm experiencing a Mandela effect. Or if the overruling of the ban was kept quietly out of the headlines intentionally.

that wasn't overturned...why else would a school need asbestos?
not having asbestos insulation is why the world trade center collapsed..
I'm going to have to examine this a bit more thoroughly. If you parse the words; it says "most" spray-applied asbestos products were banned for fireproofing, and insulating purposes.
So if that was a ban on specific, and or popular asbestos containing products. What's to stop a company from creating a new asbestos product in order to bypass the ban entirely?
Something is up, it makes no sense at all that they would need to spend 30m to demo this school. First thing that popped in my mind when you posed the question was asbestos. But I don't have any other competing ideas.
I wonder if the school's insurance policy covers school shootings. Seems doubtful, but who knows nowadays.
and?
how old is the building?
when did they stop using asbestos in new construction
(hint..a LONG time ago)
