26 Schools to Be Checked Again for Radon Levels
More than two dozen Montgomery County Schools buildings have elevated levels of the gas, most of them elementary schools.
Montgomery County Public Schools officials say they plan to retest 26 schools, as well as the Lathrop Smith Environmental Education Center and the Rocking Horse Road Center, for radon after elevated radon levels were reported.
So far, there is no word on when the retesting will take place.
