In Westport's history, two older buildings have been rennovated...the former Saugutuck School, now a condominium, and the former Bedford Middle School, currently Saugutuck Elementary.
It is possible that pubilc records can be accessed to analyze any 'hot spots' at these two sites in order to help guide the current effort.
Bedford is probably the closest in location and the fact that it was inhabited up to the date of rennovation makes it more comparable to King;s Highway.
Saugutuck was uninhabited for a period and fell into various stages of disrepair.
I don't know if this would help, simply an idea.

BIG question. Who owns the KHS? Our public schools are paid for by public taxes. Mr. Landon does NOT own the building. How is he able to prevent further testing? In my opinion the only reason to block testing is to continue a cover up.
I have been concerned about Mr. Landon and the BOE. They appear to have no respect for public concerns nor are they responsive to teacher and parent concerns regarding serious pediatric health issues.
Parents should not need to sue for FOIA. This info should have been reviewed and acted upon in a timely manner.
If I were a parent I would petition for funds to send my child to a private school rather than continue exposure to this sick building.
I wish you all luck in fighting Mr. Landon and the BOE.
Sincerely yours,
A Concerned RN
