Mold Prevention for Schools

Protect our children and teachers from the effects of mold!

Exposure to molds can seriously affect the respiratory health of children and teachers. Unfortunately, many of our schools are not safeguarded from the dangers of mold growth. In fact, the topic of mold in schools has become a very serious issue recently, and the topic of much public discussion. There are many public schools in America that are in poor condition and contain environments perfect for the growth of mold—and even a few that have had to be shut down.

Documented School Case #1 - The John F. Kennedy Elementary School in Milford, CT suffered exposure to dangerous mycotoxins from mold colonies inside the school. This undetected growth caused symptoms of headaches, colds, fatigue, achy joints and pneumonia in healthy children. The school was evaluated and renovated at a cost of over $600,000.

Documented School Case #2 - At McKinley Elementary School in Fairfield, CT the school nurse recorded that in the 1999-2000 school year approximately 40% of students, teachers, and staff had symptoms such as sinus headaches, skin rashes, earaches, wheezing and tightness in the chest. The contamination of mold was so severe that the school had to be demolished and rebuilt at a cost of $21 million dollars.

Other cases:

• Teachers in Fort Myers, FL filed a lawsuit against county school officials for not fixing known mold infestation.
• Even newer schools such as a three year old Elementary school in the Somerset School District in San Antonio, TX had to be cleaned at a cost of $3 million dollars.
