remediation. Additional inspection of the building October 26 and 27 identified more potentially affected 

areas. A second assessment confirmed the presence of mold in other location within the building and called

During multiple meetings with Quality Air, Administration and contractors, the district would remediate in 3 

phases.  The building was divided in to 3 sections and remediation was completed over teacher convention, 

Thanksgiving break and winter break.  In each phase of remediation the area was secured, all items deemed 

not salvageable was discarded and all other items, walls, doors, etc. were cleaned. All HVAC duct work was 

professionally cleaned as well as selected univents.   Before any area could be reoccupied mold sampling was 

conducted. During each phase, staff and students were moved to other areas in the building.

Mold Timeline – The 18 Month Journey 

 

Presented at the 4th Annual Environmental Management Seminar, July 20, 2016

 

LESSONS LEARNED 

Developed classroom guidelines targeting items that could promote mold growth such as: 

‐ Limit classroom throw rugs 

‐ Eliminate stuffed animals 

‐ Eliminate all wicker items (chairs, baskets, etc.) 

‐ Eliminate tennis balls on chair feet 

‐ Limit decorations 

‐ Limit house plants to educational purposes only 

‐ Eliminate all personal furniture (rocking chairs, shelving, microwaves, refrigerators, etc.) 

‐ Use of dehumidifiers were in limited use prior. All rooms currently use them 

Replaced all furniture that deemed susceptible to mold, those with porous surfaces 

Strive to have all new furniture as portable as possible.  Cubbies, book shelves and wardrobe closets 

on wheels.  No stationary furniture and no furniture to be permanently attached.  All furniture comes 

out for summer cleaning.  Room and furniture can be completely cleaned and inspected for mold 

Planned and budgeted for the above items by requesting to keep insurance claim open until all built in 

suspected furniture was removed in summer of 2014. Mold was found behind the old built in cabinets 

and new cabinets were purchased through insurance.  Budget for further remediation through a 

referendum the following year including drainage installation around the perimeter of the building.  

Completed summer of 2015.
