Mold at School Ignored by District | Birmingham News
Description
Bessemer’s J.S. Abrams Elementary is in chaos after parents discovered the school had a mold problem — one district leaders knew about months before them. Ceiling stains and discoloration raised red flags, with internal emails showing concerns as early as August 20th. Despite claims from the superintendent that all issues were “resolved,” air-quality tests remain pending, and some students are still being relocated. The state education department insists they were unaware of any environmental hazards — even though the timeline doesn’t add up. Teachers’ union demands full transparency: release all reports, show what was removed, and prove corrective actions were taken — because staff warned about this long before kids were exposed.
