Site For New School Draws Health Concerns

Site Is Near Where 19 Amoco Workers Developed Brain Tumors

WHEATON, Ill. (CBS) ― A plan to build a school near a site where 19 Amoco workers developed brain tumors drew fire in Wheaton Wednesday night.

School District 200 is considering a plan to move Hubble Middle School from Wheaton to Warrenville.

The building would be across the street from the BP Amoco Petro Chemical Research Center.

The school district said the decision makers would never do anything to endanger students, faculty or staff.

Some parents believe there is a health risk.

"I have every confidence the 18-acre site on Eric Road is safe, that the environmental studies will indicate there is no reason to abandon plans to build a new school there," said board president Andy Johnson.

The next phase of the site survey includes soil, air and water samples.
