At yesterday's Legislative Session, Board member Mark Brentley requested an evaluation of the schools at issue by an independent firm that does not do work for the district.

The evaluation would apparently provide information as to whether all appropriate steps are being taken to minimize asbestos hazards at these schools and whether and how the asbestos risk at Schenley compares to that at the other schools. It seems that this request is to be considered by a committee of the school board.
