RE : Washington, DC area: Healthy Schools Summit

[Guest guest]

I would like to see more activists invited to speak on the " real " uncensored

conditions in the schools and less of the green buildings agenda. Our nations

teachers and staff and students

deserve no less.

It is my impression that this conference is administrative agency controlled

and not a true forum for free exchange of important information about getting

sick and dying teachers their benefits, including retirement, workers comp., and

protection from administrative harrassment once a claim is filed.

Often, there is not a true investigation the building and connect any

enforcement - type activity for the school systems to clean up their buildings.

The schools are actually and generally built with flat roofs, which promote

mold groth, when the rain penetrates the building envelope and it fosters the

growth of mold.

This country needs a national health survey based on mortality and

environmental exposure to toxins in the schools and including the retirees and

those who have filed claims and reports about the poor environmental conditions.

The world is online now, and that a national survey is not in place is

unacceptable.
