In the Richmond community, officials have announced that Kennedy High School will reopen. This decision comes after testing found no evidence of vapor intrusion at the school. Testing conducted in July had revealed the presence of a hazardous chemical, tetrachloroethylene, also known as PCE, in the soil.

PCE was once commonly used by dry cleaners. Further details about the testing and reopening of Kennedy High School are available from officials. The community is reportedly relieved by the announcement, which confirms that there is no vapor intrusion at the school.
