A state air quality director says Brayton Elementary School was a victim of an underreported "natural disaster" that hit the state in late summer. The mold remediation in the Wahconah High School auditorium is complete, and the air levels are safe and meet the state standard. The MDPH IAQ program was asked by Superintendent Barbara Malkas to examine Brayton Elementary School. Craig Gifford of GEM Environmental walked the committee through the key findings in a 22-page report provided to the district.
The report stated that mold spore counts were lower than outdoor air.
Brayton Elementary School has been dealing with mold and mildew in more than one classroom. The district filed a claim with its insurance company and anticipated the mold would be completely remediated by the weekend.
