85 SHAWNEE, Kan. -- Teachers at one Johnson County school have been getting sick, and worried parents are asking questions. The teachers started reporting their illness shortly after some floor tiles were removed from classrooms at Shawnee Mission Northwest High School. The teachers' union is concerned that something in the air is sickening the employees. Health & Safety -Kansas City Star, April 8, 2008 Finished concrete flooring 85
