Mold in School Sparks Parent Outcry | Birmingham News
Description
Parents in Bessemer, Alabama, are sounding the alarm after mold was found in a pre-kindergarten classroom at the newly relocated Abrams school building, with some blaming the district’s delayed and superficial fixes for their children’s worsening health. One parent described her child as “super sick,” while others accuse officials of ignoring red flags since July — when staff flagged mold — opting instead for cosmetic repairs like painting and dropped ceilings. School leaders say they’re acting responsibly, citing air-quality tests and recent mold detection in one room that prompted the move; however, they deny widespread issues and dispute claims of poor ventilation and condensation. With a new round of testing scheduled and parents demanding closure until results come back, trust is fraying as families demand urgent, transparent action to protect their kids’ health.
