HEARD

"Our schools are supposed to be safe places for children to learn and grow. it is our responsibility as citizens to assure this. We routinely, by law, test the drinking water for safety,- remove or contain asbestos, and inspect school kitchens and buildings. How simple it would be to also require radon testing. Radon testing in schools would also provide an opportunity to better educate the public about radon being the second leading cause of lung cancer. As a school administrator I know this would be a simple task to require. As a nonsmoker blind-sided by Stage 4 lung cancer, I know this testing can save lives and health care costs, and educate the public. Our children deserve this."
