City councilors: Why is city refusing to fix leaky, moldy Jamaica Plain school?

City Councilors Chuck Turner and John Tobin today blasted the city for not doing anything about poor air quality at the Agassiz School in Jamaica Plain.

Turner said city officials had promised to stop leaks at the school but are now refusing to do anything.

"We've had hearing after hearing after hearing" on the school and yet nothing gets done, Tobin said, adding it's so bad "you can feel the air" when you walk into the school auditorium. He said the school has such a bad reputation for poor air quality that only about 500 of its roughly 900 seats are filled.

The council agreed to schedule a hearing on air quality and water issues at the school.

Formal request for hearing.
