[quote=Anonymous]RT Parent here. The outrage is due to the fact that mold was actually discovered the week before school started (but you had to attend the in-person meeting Monday to know this). As of today, parents have not been notified of which classrooms were impacted. If I was a teacher there, I would seriously be considering contating OSHA or a class action lawyer if I was getting sick. Teachers spend way more time exposed to the mold than the kids. In the course of 2 hours of a meeting, no one from MCPS spoke about health. The nurse was called on to respond to a question, but responded that fewer kids have been sick....but maybe this is because they are going to ERs, urgent cares, and other health care professionals.

Also discussed was that several other schools have mold, caused by moisture, but exacerbated by aging HVAC systems. For non-Rolling Terrace parents, you may want to reach out to MCPS to increase awareness about this issue and exert pressure on MCPS to be more forthcoming about which schools are impacted and in which classrooms mold has been found.

Emails are also not being responded to by Board of Ed, RTES, and MCPS central admin. If you had a child there, would this be acceptable?[/quote]
