Asbestos Cover?

I was checking the Lynn Public Schools web site this morning to look at the agenda for Tue. night's upcoming school committee meeting and look what I found, http://www.lynnschools.org/Borque%20AHERA%20Plan.htm.

It's good to see Mr. Borque on top of a policy that was put into place last century. I am sure the posting had nothing to do with the recent revelation of the fact that Lynn Public Schools and the Inspectional Services Department contracted with a firm that was unlicensed for asbestos removal. Cause on a purely casual read of the Memo it looks to me that the policy and what actually happened don't jive. Mr. Borque must sleep well at night with the strong reassurance given by Mr. Donovan from the Inspectional Services Department, "It's done".

Being just a poor, disabled poet, I don't see where putting that memo out there gives much cover for accepting responsibility for the potential liabilities of this oversight. Still, it might help some people sleep better while others have nightmares while living with the potential consequences of an ill-fated decision.
