Info for School Administrators
020410LeakAcrossLight.a.JPG

This section will provide resources to assist school administrators with understanding the health effects, the threat to public health that mold and damp buildings present, along with prevention and solutions for mold in schools. In the 90's and before, mold was considered a nuisance and non-toxic. That is not the case now, though many "experts" will still claim this to be the case. Inform yourselves and solve the problems safely! (SMH)
