They had the entirety of summer to remediate this mold. And yet ….. they kicked the can down the road to where now children can’t go to school. Worthless school system.
Nobody thought to check this a month ago?
At least this time Terry and Heather are complaining about something LOCAL.
AGREE!! I taught there for 5 years when mold wasn’t considered a problem.
This was in question back in last school yr .Nothing was done it was brushed under the rug.Now parents have to make other arrangements for their children. How long will it take to remove the mold parents have a right to know this . They also have a right to know what was done to remove it & by what mold removal company..All sounds like a hide a job was done and now probably hide some more 😏
