The FAA originally denied Elk Grove schools more than $10 million in funds for soundproofing but after a severe public outcry may be reviewing and overturning its decision.
The FAA has not yet made an official decision but should have a final response sometime this week. In the meantime, FAA officials have agreed to visit three of the schools in question in early 2010 to assess their noise problems.
Good news for Elk Grove students. We hope they get the soundproofing funds they deserve!
