An estimated one-third of schools have poor air quality bad enough to cause respiratory health problems for children and their teachers. The threat to health may be increasing as tight budgets lead to schools
cutting back on ventilation, maintenance and upkeep.

The report includes the stories of Winsted, CT, parents who pulled their kids from school because mold was making their children sick; Former Fairfield, CT, teacher Joellen Lawson, who has permanent lung damage and other disabling health problems caused by contaminated air at her school, that was eventually torn down;Lily Eskelsen of the National Education Association; and Drue Miles, acting superintendent of Reading, PA, schools.
