ALL BUILDINGS IN LIGONIER VALLEY SCHOOL DISTRICT CLOSED TODAY FOR MOLD REMEDIATION

All buildings in the Ligonier Valley School District have been closed for today as remediation work gets underway after positive mold tests and air quality concerns.  The Trib reports that last week, three classrooms at R.K. Mellon Elementary School were closed off after traces of mold were found in the building.  A letter on Saturday from district officials said that remediation work was completed in the classrooms on Thursday, and air quality tests were being performed.  Follow-up tests showed reduced and acceptable levels of suspected particulates throughout the building, but the three classrooms targeted for remediation still recorded levels above what’s recommended for occupancy.  While further remediation is going on, further testing is being done at the other buildings.
