[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually it was the a/c system that caused the mold, or at least that is what the Director of MCPS Facilities Management and the one pager to RT parents that another poster mentioned above explained.  The mix of high humidity, HVAC control failure, and malfunctioning/changed settings in classroom thermostats were the cause. The facilities guy also admitted repeatedly that nearly all parts of the HVAC were already 'past their expected lifetime'.

And of course there's no need to complain about mold if a school doesn't have mold.  Not sure how that would be relevant to the fact that this school had mold and parents were not informed until two weeks after it was discovered.

Another fact from last night's meeting was that there were other reports of mold in MCPS schools, but RT was the worst.

Well if high humidity was the problem, won't it go away naturally during the winter months?  I think you misunderstood something because I never have heard of an HVAC system being the cause of mold.  If it is the high humidity, just get dehumidifiers for the affected areas - simple and cheap fix.  Schools lasted for decades without AC. [/quote]
