Saturday night's fire at Stuarts Draft High School isn't the only bad news for Augusta County Schools.

Asbestos has been discovered at the site of the future Wilson Middle School in Fishersville.

The plot of land where the school will be built used to be the location of the old Wilson Memorial High School. The asbestos was found on underground steam pipes and construction materials from the old school.

Cleanup is expected to start Tuesday morning. School officials are calling this a minor setback for the project, one that shouldn't affect the planned August 2005 opening date for the school.
