Description

Kennedy High School in Richmond is temporarily closed after PCE—a toxic chemical linked to a decades-old industrial spill—was detected in the soil beneath the campus. Though current tests show no immediate danger, officials are ramping up testing with state help, warning that long-term exposure can harm vital organs. No reopening date is set, as safety remains the top priority. The mayor backs the district’s cautious approach to protect students and staff.
