Could I get in trouble for this?

If it is just drywall dust, why doesn't the district release the abatement reports to the public, while everyone (Students, parents, teachers) is demanding to see them? Its damn fishy

you need to find out for sure. as chad said, the danger is only in floating particles. the fibres arent 'poisonous' as such. rubbing it on your skin or eating wont hurt you for instance. it causes a physical reaction. asbestosis is caused when the particles get lodged in your lungs. they are JUST the right length that when a cell in your lungs tries to do grow over it to destroy it, the particle is a fraction longer than the cell can handle and it causes it to mutate (or stay deformed, i cant remember now).

Here's a newspaper article from the reporter I spoke to telling the public about the meeting. Leaving for it in a few minutes. Should be interesting. They are still denying there is a problem in that article, yet they won't release the reports.

Because "the public" sees the word asbestos and has a cow. Just like if they see the word "cancer" or other inflammatory words that people fear but don't really understand.

Erm, if all you guys have is rumors, odds are high that it's drywall dust or something even less hazardous.
