Jana Elementary School is closing its doors after high levels of radioactive contamination were found inside. Parents say they’re relieved but frustrated over a lack of communication. Earlier this year, the school board declined to inform parents about radioactive material detected on school property.

Schools will never tell when there is danger or mistakes not initially only later
Nothing can stop a good game of golf.
WTF
WHAT?
They chose to Not inform the parents.? How about the community? Why expose your child to one more minute of radiation? 🤦🏼♀️
How many were called crazy for pointing this out?
Not one student from that school will split an atom. This is a highly irregular method of familiarizing the unremarkable children with radiation. But whatever.
City, state and school board officials should have to work there for a year just for the joy of working in a radioactive lcation.
When do the arrest begin
America say Russia is a nuclear threat when America are still the only monsters to have used nuclear weapons against Japan 77 years ago.
Everyone there needs to move right away or you will get sick and die !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And just where is Jana Elementary School? In Russia?
It's Putin's fault
oops!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At less we can talk about the issue.
In China All these students dead or get cancer…..
Thank god we can talk about. … all these news never see again
The school board voted not to inform parents about radioactivity found in the school. This is the society we live in.
The third grade uranium enrichment program has gotten out of hand.
OMG. Nothing like a school board blowing off dangers to children in their district. Saying "Oh, they live there so they know the score" crap doesn't work for people entrusted with children's best interest. Residents, get a new board and tell these liars to GTFO.
I don’t live in that state and I’m glad it’s being shut down but there’s other similar but much worse off cases than this school. There is a Navajo Reservation in New Mexico where the worst radioactive spill in US History took place at an area called Church Rock and the worst part is that spill is ongoing and has been for decades. But hey this is America, why give a crap about a bunch of Natives seems to be the national way of thinking, leave them to suffer from cancers undrinkable water and livestock they can’t eat most of the time
wait. so what happened to any of the kids before this was found out? if it's been there since the 40's, shouldn't others be suffering from radiation then? I have lots of questions – and also, no one knew about this during the lockdown? No one thought to try to fix it during that lockdown time? Some people dropped a big ball on this.
Exactly which Radioactive Isotope was detected. Could just be a temperature inversion with radioactive radon. Btw Lead can not be radioactive. That's physically Impossible even Einstein and Enrico Fermi will say that. Unless of course if the lead is tainted or alloyed by another Potential Radioactive Isotope. So what exact Isotope is it. Generic 100% Pb is virtually impossible. I want facts. Also the firm that did the samples is BSing someone. BTW Jimmy Carter was exposed to heavy exposure to radiation and he is living large at 98. In life there is naturally occurring radioactivity in most aspects of life. IE Concrete, flying in a plane even the smoke detector in your home. If I had the equipment i used back in the day I could tell you the exact Isotope and it wont be lead.
I'm sorry, how do you "decline to inform parents" when it involves the students' health, safety, and overall well-being?! UNACCEPTABLE! There needs to be a Class-action lawsuit or some other action taken against the school board. Radiation poisoning is CUMULATIVE OVER THE ENTIRE LIFESPAN! The damage stays with you!
Example: If 10 RAD is fatal, and i am exposed 9.9 RADS at 16 yrs old, i would die if exposed to 0.1 RADS at 50 yrs old.
Who the F takes a decision like that ?! Let us all hope they all get sued to oblivion and never hold any amount of power ever again.
Where the kid father at?
Certified Missouri moment
If a show-and-tell happened in this school: "Today for show-and-tell I would like to show you the Elephant's Foot from the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant!"
this isnt the first time this hs happened either thats the sad part
Despite the economic downturn, I'm so happy. I have been earning $ 60,000 returns from my $7,000 investment every 13 day's.
The Simpson
Sue the board.
State of Arizona is not public conduct, it is government conduct and may continue putting anything it wants to as border wall. The Supreme Court ruling on the EPA regulations is the same over reach shutdown as the Federal government agencies trying to halt a secure border.
