Omg, so based on a sample size of one, you are sure the building is fine. Well here's another. My kid has allergies and asthma and is sensitive to mold. Started coughing and needed an inhaler every time they went into that dank cave of a building.


And since your kid who has allergies is experiencing ALLERGIES, you know unequivocally that it's due to mold?

Again, I would urge parents to order mold test kits, ask their students to obtain samples while at school, and see what the testing shows. Here is one example of a kit (you can use it DIY only or send it to a lab for an additional fee). Could even turn this into a science fair project!

OP Here. Obviously only call the school if your child has been sick.


You have no idea if its from "mold".


But you are clearly invested in the idea that it isn't. That's strange.

Hopefully they will also address to teacher bathrooms. Do you know that in one of the teacher bathrooms they use child size toilets, like the miniature ones?


no I did not and that is odd, but I am still much more concerned about the mold.

My kid is in 7th - so I only know about what they are saying the 7th grade wing.

If your child is getting sick/unusual asthma/allergies, etc - please call the school and let them know and (try to) demand status updates.

I heard from school and they said they will look into this matter further. I plan on calling again for an update at end of week. Amazon sells mold kits, I'll be sending a few in with my kid.

Again, please, please call the school.

Thank you for your responses, it is greatly appreciated.
