Engineers seek source of odor at a school

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - April 16, 2008

Every two or three weeks the odor becomes intense, usually in two or three rooms of the wing that houses the Harrisburg School District's Math and Science Academy.

Superintendent Gerald Kohn says the academy students will be in temporary classrooms at Temple University at Strawberry Square and the Anna Carter School in Susquehanna Township. That's until the source of the smell is found or the school year ends.

Students and teachers have complained about the odor for about two months. District engineers and contractors have been doing tests to try to find the source. Kohn says tests indicate there is no health problem at Ben Franklin.
