Building Schools on Brownfields

by Bob Hersh <bhersh@cpeo.org>,
CPEO Brownfields Program Director

More than 3.5 million children in this country attend derelict schools
or ones needing to be replaced.  A report by the United States General
Accounting Office (GAO), School Facilities: Conditions of America’s
Schools claims that some 25,000 schools across the country are in need
of major repair or replacement, and that overcrowding affects
one-quarter of our schools.  As the school age population continues to
surge in many communities, school districts face a difficult challenge:
how to provide students with safe and nurturing schools when the only
land available for new schools are sites that might be contaminated by
past industrial or commercial activities.
