ROCKVILLE, Md. (ABC7) — During an
on-camera interview Tuesday, MCPS communications chief Brian Edwards
stated that the 28 county schools, which were tested as having radon
levels between 4 and 11.8 pc/l (picocuries per liter), are still "safe"
for students and staff members alike.
[...]
"I would say it's a bunch of bologna," remarked Jim Keilson, a radon
inspector with Maryland Home Inspector's, Inc. "No disrespect to him or
anyone else that buys into that jargon, but it's just not true. I would
ask [Mr. Edwards], if he were here with me, to show me [the report]."

Note: The Parents' Coalition requested the actual test reports (instead of the spreadsheet summary that has been provided), but Mr. Edwards replied by demanding a payment of $339. The Parents' Coalition has now asked every member of the Montgomery County Board of Education, every member of the Montgomery County council and several state legislators from Montgomery County to obtain the actual test reports from MCPS and release them to the public. So far, none of the elected officials have responded to our request.
Unbelievable. Just unbelievable. Parents have to pay for the report? This should result in a lawsuit and law changing.
