BURLINGTON, Vt. -- The president of the Burlington teachers' union is urging school administrators to address an indoor air-quality problem at the high school.
 
Rebecca Smith said six teachers at Burlington High School have developed rashes in recent years that appear to be linked to air problems at the school.
The school performed tests in 2004 and 2005 and determined that the building had no significant air-quality problem. In January, school officials said they would fumigate part of the school but later canceled the plan, saying they weren't sure what it would address.
 
Burlington High School principal Amy Mellencamp has said she thinks the rashes are connected to the school's air quality. She said the skin conditions improve during vacation and reappear when teachers come back to work.
