The best mold killer is clean dry air.

That was the message delivered by guest speaker Graham at a seminar

held at Hilton Head Beach & Tennis on Thursday evening.

The seminar -- attended by Hilton Head Elementary School Executive Principal

Briggs and district maintenance director Carstens -- was presented

as a public service by the Coalition for Safe Schools in response to recent

questions about air quality at the elementary school.

Parents at the seminar voiced concerns about the effects of mold on their

children's health, some saying they were so concerned they were

contemplating pulling their children out of school.

Carstens and Briggs assured parents that when the results of the recent mold

testing done on the school were complete, parents would be informed.

AAA Environmental, an air-quality testing group, has conducted several tests

of the elementary school's ventilation system at the request of the Beaufort

County School District.

Results from AAA's tests will be presented to the public Nov. 11.
