CEDAR FALLS --- A mold problem is causing River Hills School to

temporarily close beginning today, a day after classes began.

River Hills is a school for students with moderate, severe, and

profound developmental disabilities operated by Area Education

Agency 267.

A message on the school's answering machine and Web site said the

mold growth is due to the malfunction of a pneumatic controller in

the cooling system. Classes are being suspended while commercial

clean-up and air testing are conducted. School will resume when air

tests have been completed, with missed days made up later.

River Hills is located at 2700 Grand Blvd.
