RE : Re: WHS Mold Documentary - by a student

" Weakley " County - that name says it all! You did a great thing! The whole

world via the web should be watching this one. The unions for the teachers,

custodians and nurses need to sit up and take notice.

No community should have to bear the loss of the HVAC failure and should look

into breaches of " Implied Warranty of Habitability " and other contractual

provisions for whomever insured the builders for the building loss. The clock

is running.

Westview high school was built and opened in August 1997. In june of

1998 during the summer when nobody was there, the HVAC failed and two

weeks went unnoticed because nobody was in the building. The water

and condensation grew mold. I have been told by teachers there was

slime everywhere, lockers, floors, walls, desks, books, vents etc.

They said you could skate on the slime. This is what I would call a

fairly new building. I did not know this happened until November

2005 as we moved in to this state in 2002. When my son started

getting sick, I started researching. Actually 98 percent of the

parents didn't seem to be aware of this happening. My son said he

wouldn't return to that building unless it was completely torn to the

ground and rebuilt. He knows that won't happen so he's staying in

the new school 25 miles from our home. He is having a good school

year. He knows he is not valued by Weakley County School

administration and neither are the other children. He chooses not to

return. Intelligent young man of 17 years old.
