High School Mold
Complaints of mold at Amity High
(Woodbridge-WTNH News Channel 8 with Sara Welch, Sept. 23, 2002 11:55 PM)
_ After years of battling air quality concerns in their schools, parents
and students in Bethany, Woodbridge, and Orange are faced with another
problem surfacing at Amity High School.
This time the focus is on mold and the possibility of missing records.
"This is totally
precautionary," says Former Acting Superintendent Mike Nast.
A few weeks ago, the superintendent
said some school board members complained of itchy irritated eyes while
holding a meeting in the high school auditorium.
He says there have also been recent moisture problems in the room and some
suspect mold maybe growing.
"I just to
make sure we get a tests and we evaluate the test," says Nast.
Back in 1997, the auditorium was closed because tested showed high levels
of mold.
Amity
reportedly spent millions fixing the area, but Gil Cormier who performed
many of the tests, isn't sure all the areas were completely fixed.
"We had provided recommendations to do some remediation, some remediation
may have been done, but we don't have, there's really no documentation to
see exactly what was done," says Cormier.
Board members want
to fix that. School officials say so far there are no reports of any
illness but some say there's another problem.
Amity Environmental
Committee member Lorri Cavaliere says,"The nurses logs are nowhere to be
found and this happened a few years ago and it happened again."
"They are
approaching teachers that haven't felt well and they are concerned and
want to know what is going to happen next and they attend meeting and
certainly voiced their opinions to board members," says Toby Zabinski,
teacher.
This summer there was a moisture problem in the high school choir room.
School officials say a broken pipe
was fixed and the carpet replaced with tile but Gil Cormier suspects more
needs to be done.
"We really need to get an action plan and the action plan needs to set
some priorities to make sure that we identify the most important things
that we need to get done and right now that's going to be the auditorium,"
says Cormier.
This maybe very costly. School officials have secured a $100,000 grant to
help pay for the plan.
