About a quarter of Vermont public schools had not completed required radon testing as of January 2026, state auditor memo finds

Vermont law required public and approved independent schools to test for radon, with a June 30, 2025 deadline. A February 2026 memo from the State Auditor's office, which says it is not an audit, found that 206 of 299 public schools (69 percent) completed testing by the deadline and 218 (73 percent) by January 31, 2026, based on the Auditor's outreach to superintendents.
