County Finds Millions to Overcome Mold

The Blount County Commission has pulled together more than $1 million to

combat a mold problem at Heritage High School.

Money has also been set aside in case other schools need similar help.

In a meeting Thursday night, the commission voted to fund the mold

ratification at Heritage. Dozens of students and teachers there are having

medical problems, and mold is being blamed as the cause.

More than $1 million was set aside in anticipation that a mold clean-up

would be needed at Blount High School and Montvale, Friendsville and

Walland elementary schools.
