All Key Middle School, Houston, TX articles
Read these from the bottom to the top of these stories, to follow the course of the mold story on Key Middle School in TX, where in Aug. and Sept., 2007, a score of sick employees went by ambulance to the hospital, hundreds of children were reported as ill, and the school district STILL claimed the building was safe. The union took action (the best example we know of in the nation, thus far), Congressional representatives and local politicians assisted, with the final result being the school was temporarily closed, three weeks later. Then the CDC said the people were ill from the school. This story is ongoing. Check back in our News section for updates.
