In case you missed it, Harford County Schools showcased its infrastructure problems this week in three separate incidents.
Homestead/Wakefield students were exposed to asbestos because technicians tore off an asbestos ceiling sending fibers into the air. The air was contaminated and school was closed. Students got Wednesday off, but after they'd been exposed to the asbestos on Tuesday.
On Thursday, Joppatowne High students were forced to leave their building because of a suspected gas leak. BGE arrived and examined the site while students waited outside in the cold.
Also this week, Edgewood High students were forced to endure a stench from a pipe underneath the kitchen that cracked, causing wastewater to spill into a crawl space and leaving behind an unpleasant odor in the cafeteria and locker room areas, school officials told The Sun.
The Sun reported that county health inspectors determined that there were no health concerns but that the odor presents a "human comfort situation," spokesman Don Morrison said. You can fill in your own comments on that one.

Anyone remember a couple of years ago when Edgewood Middle or High don't remember which, was closed for over a week due to mold removal. Hope those flat screens at Prospect Mill are entertaining.
Just another example of Harford County putting the Abingdon/Edgewood schools at the bottom of the list. My son had to endure that stench for WEEKS. I feel badly for the teachers there, too.
