HENDERSONVILLE, Tenn. - Concerns about mold and air quality have

school administrators in Sumner County taking aggressive action to

ensure children, faculty and staff are safe.

A report last year by a contractor found that the district needs to

check the heating and air system at Walton Elementary School.

" We did do that, " said , Sumner County Schools

spokesman.

said the school's ventilation system was cleaned and air

quality tests were done as soon as the school district received the

notice.

" We did not find any mold, " said.

Administrators said the school is safe and they have encountered any

problems. However, another air quality test will be conducted this

week to ensure children are safe. If anything is found, parents,

faculty and staff will be alerted.

The principal also had a letter sent to students' parents explaining

the situation, which the school district believes doesn't pose a

risk to students.

Administrators said no child has become ill as a result of air

quality issues at the school.
