[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"What I don't understand is the outrage."  RT parent here- 
It is the fact that mold was a huge problem detected on 9/3/13, Around the clock mold remediation was taking place WHILE students with health problems like asthma were sitting in the classrooms, and no one bothered to tell the parents ANY of this until a brief letter went home in kids backpacks on 9/6/13 without any mention of the potential to cause health problems in kids with asthma/allergies/immune system problems.  We have over 880 kids in our school.  MCPS blew this one big time by not communicating clearly and effectively.  [/quote]

Umm - Lack of communication from the school and MCPS.  Pretty common.  At a "W" cluster elementary a few years back, we had a pipe burst during a blizzard.  Kids came back to school with mold everywhere because the water had flooded two classrooms.  When the heat came back on, but know one knew the pipes had burst, the situation caused the growth of mold.  The water damage led the school to take out the ceiling tiles and floor tiles in the school.  All of this was going on while kids were in school.  The tiles were made of asbestos.  So our kids and staff were not only exposed to lots (I mean the mold was growing all over the walls bad) but also they all were exposed to asbestos particles while in school.  The school nor the cleanup crew did not have the proper equipment nor training on how to dispose asbestos materials.  We were told after the fact by a little note on the front door.[/quote]
