No one is saying to have teachers in these rooms year after year, because MCPS is testing and remediating.  If they didn't bother to test or treat, that would be a problem.[/quote]

tests are years old
no redmediating

I talked to the director of building services last week after this report showed up (before it hit the news) and got the specific report for our school Fallsmead ES.  Half of the classrooms were 4.0 or above. The test was performed in 2012 people!  THis is what the news story missed!  Done in 2012 and they did NOTHING!  Their protocol per the director was to retest as he saw no issues with levels between 4-6 even though the EPA recommends remediation for levels over 4 and to consider remediation for levels 2-4.  He was looking for records of retesting at Fallsmead ES and found none.  I asked him how the protocol was formulated outside of EPA recommendations, why retesting and/or remediation was never done,  to which I got no answers.  Also, why was no public notification done as I would have liked to choose to keep my son out of school.  I have the classroom by classroom report ofr our school and my son spent his first grade in the room with the highest level in the school.  We are not happy with this and someone should lose their job as it was either covered up purposefully or neglected to to incompetence.  Not sure which is worse!.  Parents pressured them into retesting TODAY.
