The ruling just came down. The school will remain open as if the closure never happened.

Great article! Thanks for covering this. As you can see, this story is about much more than a dry cleaners.

As for the benzene, how serious is that? It sounds like it is over the limit by the smallest amount possible and is easily mitigated. Also, since benzene has nothing to do with PCE, it would be interesting to see the other county schools get tested to see if anything is going on with them. Do we have any evidence the Magnolia's air is cleaner than Paden City's?

At this point, I think PCHS would be one of the safest schools in the state due to how closely everything is monitored.

Benzene itself is serious, but it appears from testimony it can be removed. there was conversation about MHS air quality, but it hasn’t been tested by the county. Allegedly, it has been privately tested, but I cannot verify that!
