After our home inspection and finding high levels of radon in the basement, I started to wonder if the schools in the area are tested routinely for radon? I toured a bunch of schools and remember one that was built into the ground like a bunker.

Apparently schools in CO are required to test when built or remodeled, but not routinely.

See these State of CO webpages for more info:

An article re the issue from 2011:
