BRAINTREE, MA — Braintree High School is closed Wednesday for mandatory asbestos testing, school officials said. In an email to parents Tuesday night, school officials said the closure is necessary because of "asbestos flooring being disturbed during cleaning and moisture mitigation being done on [the]first floor." The testing is required by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection. School officials said they will provide updates Wednesday on when school can be reopened. "This information only became available at this late hour, and we understand the frustration and disappointment this message will elicit," read the email to parents sent out at 9 p.m.
