Staff and parents are sounding the alarm about mold at Barnstable United Elementary School in Barnstable, Massachusetts
Despite a delayed start to the school year, community members say mold continues to make people sick at Barnstable United Elementary SchoolTeachers and parents on Cape Cod are demanding further action be taken against ongoing mold concerns at an elementary school.
"My son was in that school over the summer for camp, and it got shut down in the middle of July," Brittany Burt told NBC10 Boston Friday."They found mold, moved the kids offsite, and said they were going to get it cleaned and get it fixed."Parents and staff at Barnstable United Elementary School say mold problems are making students and teachers sick.
"The amount of sneezing, horrible coughing, and asking to see the nurse for their inhalers is alarming," Pedini said at the school committee meeting."Honestly, I have never had a sicker group of students at once."Photos from a 2019 Massachusetts Department of Public Health report show mold has been a problem at the school for years. Another state report published this month said heavy rain and high humidity this summer contributed to mold growth.
"We want regular air quality testing and to figure out what the source of the problem is rather than keep Band-Aid-ing it and risking everyone's health," added another mother, Sarah O'Connor.
