Here is another portion of my declaration, followed by an

article just out in the Seattle papers today. Friday, July 8,

2005

38 The manner in which GlobalTox endorses environmental risk

assessment based on financial liability risk as opposed to

health risk has served to fuel the national fear, contention,

confusion and damage over the issue. Respectively attached as

Exhibits 34, 35 and 36 are true and correct copies of: a news

article, a letter to parents and a parental ToxLaw posting

concerning Hale High School in Seattle, Washington.

This school is indicative of much of the controversy over

proper environmental risk assessments and remediation

efforts. Schools are facing this challenge all over the

country. Attached Exhibit 37 is a true and correct copy of a

commentary I authored and is displayed on the School Mold

Help website. It compares two schools: one assessed with the

children being given the highest priority and one assessed by

GlobalTox.

Parents protest teacher's transfer

By DEBORAH BACH

SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER REPORTER

Parents at a West Seattle elementary school have filed

petitions

with district officials in hopes of blocking the involuntary

transfer of an award-winning math teacher.

Femiano was accused of harassment by his principal

after

asking questions about his school's budget. The teacher also

recently alerted state investigators to a mold infestation at

the

school, after the district failed to address the problem.

Holding signs reading, " We Love Our Whistleblower -- Go Get

Your

Own " and, " Don't Shoot the Messenger, " a half-dozen Arbor

Heights

parents protested the planned transfer at Wednesday night's

School

Board meeting.

One of them, Angie , said parents were " furious " to

learn

about Femiano's transfer, reportedly set for the upcoming

school

year.

" He should be rewarded for his efforts, not forced out of the

neighborhood school he has been working to improve for 14

years, "

she said.

Another parent, Beard, said the board must tell

Superintendent Raj Manhas, who listened to the delegation

silently, " not to allow principals to intimidate their

teachers. "

A frequent and impassioned speaker at School Board meetings,

Femiano, 51, lobbied the district for months to address

problems

with a leaky pipe and mold at his school.

After hearing students in his wing of the school complaining

of

mysterious headaches, colds and other ailments, Femiano and

several

other teachers filed a complaint in April with the Department

of

Labor and Industries, which has opened an investigation.

Femiano, a first- and second-grade teacher who received a

presidential award for elementary mathematics in 2002,

believes the

reasons for his transfer date back to June 2004, when he

began

asking questions about how Principal Carol Coram was spending

the

school's budget.

Femiano said he asked the Seattle Education Association, the

union

representing district teachers, for a copy of the budget.

A week later, Femiano said, his principal charged him with

harassment. Femiano said he is being transferred in the fall

to

Sanislo Elementary, where he previously taught.

The move, he told the board, " constitutes retaliation. "

District spokeswoman Patti Spencer said several weeks ago

that the

transfer was not retaliatory.

Jane Westergaard-Nimocks, the district's human resources

director,

declined to confirm yesterday whether Femiano will be

transferred,

if the district is responding to his allegations and if the

alleged

harassment is being investigated.

" I can't talk about it, " she said. " It's a personnel issue. "
