The Center for School Mold Help

Goddard High School, Roswell, New Mexico w/  photo of confirmed 1.3 million of toxic mold (stachybotrys) on a pipe in the air pathway

in an old, water-damaged school where students and teachers became ill, tested by the Roswell school district, claimed to be safe and healthy

In Roswell, NM, parent Paul Taylor III filed a lawsuit to have the local high school building tested thoroughly, after his daughter and other occupants fell ill while attending school there. The school district would not allow it without a court order, even though Mr. Taylor paid for the expensive tests. The verdict is in:

TAYLOR’S EXPERTS EXPOSE MASSIVE TOXIC CONTAMINATION

IN GODDARD HIGH SCHOOL - see story below!

We congratulate Mr. Taylor on the development of a very generous, excellent plan to get the school tested, the establishment of an outstanding parent website that informs the public about the IAQ problems at Goddard High School and what is being done about them, and the utilization of top experts for medical analysis, building inspection, and testing. Mr. Taylor has told us that The Center for School Mold Help website (that you are now on) has been invaluable to help him address these problems. He is one of our subscribers. We hope that Goddard High School will be closed immediately and the students relocated. This report shows it is a very dangerous building to occupy. (SMH)

The following email, below, was sent by our SMH Director to the CDC on Sept. 8, 2009 - a request for the United States Centers for Disease Control to update its mold information to correspond with that produced by the World Health Organization, July, 2009. Previous communications with the CDC have resulted in the receipt of a listing of the CDC's information links, all of which are inadequately describing the health effects of mold. Since the WHO is doing the work, we want the CDC to report it and inform the nation's healthcare professionals, health departments, and the general public regarding the serious health threat caused by dampness and mold. Our site visitors may wish to add their voices and emails to this effort, by writing the CDC at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it . The mailing addresses for the Director of the CDC and President Obama are below our letter. (SMH)
