This week on the show we had Jeff Hewitson, the president of the Hamilton Township Board of Education, about the district’s facilities problems.

The district closed a portion of one high school two weeks ago after testing found mold, bacteria and lead-based paint in the building. After years of neglect and one-time fixes, the district’s 23 schools need more than $100 million in renovations.

At the bottom of the hour, we had Tahirih Smith from Sustainable Lawrence, a community group advocating for a greener community in the township.

Her group is holding a Living Local Expo at Lawrence High School from noon to 4 p.m. The event will have speakers, cooking demonstrations and showings from vendors at the high school.
