Lately, mold has been causing several schools a lot of troubles, as you might have noticed. However, of all them, it seems that Meridian Elementary School in Mounds in Illinois got it worst.
According to a report, severe infestation of black mold was discovered in the campus. And as it was deemed unsafe for students, education officials decided to close it down.
The school was closed on Friday as announced by the regional superintendent of schools, Janet Ulrich. However, classes are ongoing. For the meantime, the elementary students were going to Meridian High School in shifts.
Based on Ulrich’s statement, the moist weather since 2011 was a major factor to the development of mold in the building. And as it was suggested, so was the way it was constructed.
