A community meeting was held at Richmond City Hall to address concerns about toxic chemicals found under a high school campus. The gathering allowed parents, students, and community members to hear from school district officials, city officials, and scientists from the Department of Toxic Substances Control. The discovery of toxic chemicals was made after the state tested soil under nearby streets.

Contamination was found under a street close to the campus, prompting further testing on school grounds. Further testing is being conducted to determine if the toxic chemicals have become airborne, with results expected soon, according to the Department of Toxic Substances Control.
