Prosecutors say it's the first time a school district in the U.S. has faced environmental criminal allegations.

District agreed to have case deferred while it pays for a court supervised monitor to keep tabs on its response.

Asbestos, a construction material in wide use until the 1980s , has been linked to cancer and lung disease.

Investigators said some asbestos was improperly addressed and that schools have had to close.
