Three teachers at the school were diagnosed with thyroid cancer, and other teachers and students have been experiencing rashes, migraine headaches and hair loss.  

A direct correlation between the health issues and campus environmental toxicity has not yet been determined, but parents and students alike are concerned about their well being.  

"My children have been having migraines ever since they've come to this school and they never had them before," said Cheryl Torrey, the mother of a 9th and 10th grader at Malibu High. "In the summer, all of a sudden they went away. Then when they started school, the migraines came back."

Sandra Lyon, the superintendent of the Monica-Malibu Unified School District announced that staff and students will be relocated as a safety measure, even though no correlated health risks have been proven.  

Despite these precautionary actions, Torrey and other parents are still concerned.

"I have one child that already went through Malibu High completely, so it's too late for her," said Debbie Barlow, a parent at Malibu High. "But I have another child who's in the 9th grade and we've considered taking him out and maybe doing homeschooling until we find out more."

Much of the frustration among students, parents, teachers and administration stems from widespread discontentment with the lack of transparency.  

In 2010, the Monica-Malibu Unified School District removed 1,000 cubic yards of contaminated dirt from the Malibu campus. The information was publicly available, but many parents and students were unaware of the findings.  

"They are talking about transparency, but they did not go and publicly contact the parents," said Tristan Peterson, a 9th grader at Malibu High. "They were hiding information from us and they should've told us what was going on, but they didn't and I feel offended by that."

The school district has hired certified third party industrial hygienists and retained executive environmental and the chief executive officer Daniel Ginsberg to form a comprehensive plan for data collection and testing.  

"Everybody seems to be equally concerned about how widespread the testing is going to be," said Karen Seeberg, a Malibu High parent. "Are they just going to take a patch from the quad? How thorough is it going to be?"

Results may be posted as soon as Friday.  

"I just want answers," said Barlow.

"Nobody wants to get ahead of themselves, but it is definitely of concern, said Seeberg.  "There weren't really answers there today.  I thought they'd have a little more information."
