In a hastily-called meeting last night, parents demanded answers from GCS brass as to why toxic mold may have been found inside Oak Ridge Elementary School. Not your usual-case of "sick building syndrome."N&R reports school administration has not found anything else at the school, but parents aren't buying it.
The complaints began in 2005 after renovations and additions were completed on the school. Mold has been found at the school twice in the past four years.
The school system reports spending nearly $600,000 addressing mold and other issues at the school. The system spent nearly $400,000 installing a dehumidification system four years ago. This month, carpet found to have mold was removed from several classrooms.
Leo Bobadilla, Guilford County Schools’ chief operations officer, said tests have been done and issues have been addressed. At this point, workers can’t find any other issues, he said.
“As far as we know, there is not an issue here,” Bobadilla said.
