And we're worried about test scores? Now there are two possibilities, this could merely be a scare story used to boost their ratings, but it could also be legitimate. It seems plausible that they could still be using old chemicals from decades gone by, but my question is: Why can they not control who gets access to them? I mean, if they can keep students out of other parts of the school, (ex, the principal's office when locked) why can they not just lock up their "dangerous chemicals"? It seems silly to demand government money to clean up something you could just fix by putting a $5 dollar lock on the door. But no, of course since there's the slightest risk someone MAY get hurt, we have to spend millions of dollars to keep it "safe" They also said that these chemicals could be used in a bomb, now keep in mind I'm no expert on bombs, but I believe the ingredients for many bombs can be bought at a hardware store, so do you want to lock up lighter fluid as well? The bottom line is that it seems silly to demand government money for a project that could be fixed with a masterlock padlock.
