Remember Belmont?

Re “School Board OKs South L.A. High School Despite Objections,” Dec. 14

“The site at Slauson Avenue and Hoover Street is tainted with a type of carcinogen commonly called PCBs and other toxic substances.... It also contains potentially explosive methane deposits from runoff left by an old carwash.” Is the school board crazy? Didn’t it learn anything from the Belmont Learning Complex fiasco? Don’t we care if our kids are safe?
