OGDEN, Utah (AP) - Concerns about mold are forcing Ogden's Youth in

Custody program to move again.

The program for youth processed through the juvenile court system

moved into the former Astro Camp last fall. But Ogden School

District officials say a leaky roof is causing fungus growth that

could cause respiratory problems.

An anonymous tip led the Weber/ Health Department to check the

building, where an inspector found no problems. Then the district

hired a private environmental firm. That report came up negative,

too.

But district officials say they aren't taking any chances with the

program's 70 kids. Executive Director Bruce Penland says nearby

Elementary School is the most likely candidate for the

program's next home.
