Another Acadiana school is treated for mold. KATC has learned, L.J.

Alleman Middle School has been treated. We received an email from a

concerned parent Wednesday, and contacted school officials.

They say, parents were notified, but students were never in danger.

Principal Kathy Aloisio suspected the school might have mold back in

December and tests were ordered. Those results came back a month

later, in January. Aloisio says, in two classrooms, mold levels were

slightly elevated. Mold levels were higher inside than out.

Workers fogged the school with chemicals during the weekends, when

students and staff were not on campus.

" We did have an issue at the beginning, but we got results

yesterday, and they are way, way, low, " said Aloisio.

Superintendent Burnell Lemoine says Aloisio followed proper

procedure by notifying the maintenance department. However, he says,

because parents were upset and felt left in the dark, he is going to

draft new ways for notifying parents about problems with mold.
