Dogwood Elementary May Have Mold

The Knox County school system is taking action to protect an elementary

school from mold.

A contractor finished building the Dogwood Elementary School in 1994. School

leaders told WVLT VOLUNTEER TV News there is a moisture problem in the

school. They said the seals on walls have cracks, and that's what's causing

the problem.

Now, the school board wants the original contractor to make the needed

repairs so the school doesn't become infested with mold. " We want to address

it, monitor it and never let it go to that condition, " said Doug Whitted.

" Most certainly, it does provide an environment for mold if it's not taken

care of. "

Consultants for the school system said the repairs needed could cost more

than $250,000.
