159036~Mold mishap an egregious fumble—Reading descriptions
and looking at pictures of the mold problem in a portable classroom
at Brownell Academy left us wanting a shower. It also left us

The school district is responsible to provide safe working conditions for its employees and for the children who attend the school. These bungalows have been slated, in the past, for demolition, according to information our organization has received. Why are there people in these buildings, if this is the case? The past testing of these buildings should be made public, with the ratings of the indoor air quality and the building safety. Then you will have a better idea of who is responsible.
Our free resources about mold in schools is found online at www.schoolmoldhelp.org. Parents, teachers and staff should visit our site to see what an imminent danger mold can be – and why these buildings must be immediately vacated if they have mold in them or have had mold in the past and could not be remediated according to EPA standards (see our site for these. The health and the lives of the children depend on this.
