Landon's Letter
On Friday July 27th, this letter from Elliott Landon arrived at the homes of King's Highway Elementary School parents and guardians. A copy of the letter was also mailed from a KHS PTA email box to the same set of parents.
In the letter Mr. Landon categorizes the air quality at King's Highway Elementary as "acceptable" and that the Westport school is a "healthy school". Unfortunately Mr. Landon chose to ignore that the pod was attached to the school when he wrote the letter, that an independent firm characterized the conditions in the pod as "unacceptable" back in Sept. 2006 and that air from the pod was venting into the main part of the school due to the fact that the administration never applied a vapor barrier to stop the air circulation and waited until March 2007 to board up the entry passage.
Fortunately, Westport First Selectman Joseloff decided to take this Committee's advice and hire independent consultant Gil Cormier to assess the situation at KHS.

Out of curiosity, and because of the Westport Minuteman reporting that teachers have not been returning parent calls...Is it possible that teachers at the school either did not receive the letter (remember most teachers do not live in Westport) or that they received a different communication? I noticed that the teachers on the committee were not from KHS at least not as of the last report. Thanks for keeping us posted!
