Parents' expert to run mold tests - Greenwich Time

Reversing a decision that earned them much criticism, school officials have agreed to allow a parent-hired expert to run environmental tests on the Hamilton Avenue School modular buildings.

The testing should be conducted behind walls and above ceilings. If done only in limited areas, this will not be representative, the parents are quite right. There are safe ways to investigate the above areas - particularly if the school district says there is no mold - why then, would they worry about what is in the walls? Visit The Center for School Mold Help at www.schoolmoldhelp.org , for extensive information on Remediation, Testing, and Sick Building Symptoms.

Why is the BOE restricting the parents' expert? Let them test where they need to. If the BOE is thinking of remediation, what difference does it make if the parents' expert goes into the walls. The remediation will do the exact same thing.

How can the BOE demand the parents' expert provide standards, when the BOE's expert said that he couldn't because there were none?

If the BOE has nothing to hide and has been telling the truth since the start, why delay the parents' testing? It appears to the public that the BOE does have something to hide by putting up so many roadblocks for these parents.
