-- There is a growing push to go back to remote learning at one New Jersey high school, but not because of COVID fears.Earlier this year, Al Lupiano, an environmental scientist and Colonia High School graduate, discovered more than 115 people who spent time at the school had a rare brain tumor.Former Woodbridge, N.J.
So far, more than 2,000 people have signed a Change.org petition demanding, in part, students return to remote learning.In a memo to the school community, superintendent Joseph Massimino wrote,"Remote instruction is only available in the event of an active health crisis or emergency." In April, Woodbridge approved environmental testing at the school, but those results won't be made available until the end of June.
"We can get in there today and take air, water and soil samples and have results back the same day," Lupiano said."I'm getting reports of whole blocks in and around the neighborhood, that they call themselves 'Cancer Alley,'" Lupiano said."I'm not particularly concerned because it hasn't happened in quite some time. The last case was a while ago, like 2000," Kapadia said.
The discovery of the possible link between the school and the brain tumors is so new that it hasn't yet been verified by any agency, and the testing being done there is just part of the effort to figure out the true extent of the problem.
