The Center for School Mold Help

The health department in Guilford County, NC, is going to inspect an elementary school with a strong history of mold and "renovations" (not remediation!) where teachers and students are complaining of frightening symptoms since 2005: bleeding eyes and noses, respiratory problems, and more. One teacher has been diagnosed with toxic mold exposure by his/her physician. We are glad the health department is interested, as this is not always the case, believe it or not! However, we hope they know how to assess for toxic mold with ERMI testing and recognize its health effects - and if not, that they become fast learners. This is a terrible example of what is happening all over the United States in our schools, with little to no help from the US government. Many times, health departments find "no mold" when the building is loaded with it. No wonder our people are unhealthy and school scores and graduation rates are so low (SMH).

This very persistent, well-organized parent effort has paid off in New Mexico! A judge has "ordered the Roswell Independent School District to open its doors so a concerned parent (Paul Taylor) could look for mold" (krqe.com). The Center for School Mold Help has provided encouragement, supportive information, and contacts to this suffering school community, whose children and school staff we are concerned about, and we are well-pleased with the decision of the court. We heartily commend Mr. Paul Taylor III, who has led this battle out of concern for all of Goddard's students, after his daughter fell ill while attending GHS.
