Rob’s link to the EPA makes a pretty good case for replacing the ballasts.

And I’m wondering why they were testing for PCBs. Did a lighting ballast fail? Why replace all the lighting if it’s all intact and working fine? Are the elevated PCBs directly attributable to lighting? There are other sources, principally in caulk.
They probably should retrofit the lighting to energy efficient fixtures and the like, as a matter of good stewardship of their utility dollars. But I’m with Pat – I think there’s a lot of information missing to go leaping to these types of conclusions.

Am I crazy thinking this is overkill, that
you automatically need a complete lighting retrofit if the school was
built after 1979?
