Schools in Crisis Beyond PCBs

Schools in Crisis Beyond PCBs

Published 1 day, 10 hours ago
Description

A school district plunged into chaos when PCB contamination forced students into tents at the start of the year, but the real crisis runs deeper: decades-old infrastructure built for a bygone era can’t handle modern education. Cleanup helped reopen classrooms, but officials warn the building’s age and outdated design are systemic problems. With upgrades stalled by fear of future demolition, lawmakers now see this as a statewide emergency — aging school buildings are crumbling across the state. As consolidation talks heat up, the district is eyeing a complete rebuild — a monumental, long-term challenge.
