Kids across Westchester County are heading back to school Wednesday.Some students in Eastchester, however, will be starting the year in a different school. The opening of the Anne Hutchinson School has been delayed due to an asbestos cleanup.The school underwent a roofing project this summer and asbestos was discovered when assessing damage from heavy rains in late July and early August. Crews performed specialized cleaning and tests came back negative, but the equipment has not been removed yet. The students will attend class at the Greenvale School until the equipment is out. School officials say entrance and dismissal times will be the same and there will be a shuttle bus to bring students from the Anne Hutchinson School to Greenvale School.
