All Stafford District Schools Affected By Mold By Kimberly Bosco STAFFORD – An inspection throughout the Stafford Township School District has found mold in all of the district’s five schools. Following the discovery of extensive mold in the McKinley Avenue Elementary School in August, parents in the district called for more comprehensive testing during a special meeting on Sept. 5. According to Superintendent George Chidiac, school officials and mold specialists from Coastal Environmental Compliance spent a recent weekend inspecting and testing ransom areas in all of the district’s schools. “[Testing] was done as an extra precaution. But where the experts felt it was needed, mold testing was done and once the results came back, it was recommended we seal off certain classrooms for remediation,” said Chidiac. They found more areas affected by mold in: • 3 classrooms in the Oxycocus School • 3-4 classrooms in the Ronald L. Meinders Primary Learning Center (PLC) (Mold - See Page 2)
