INDEPENDENCE, Mo. -- Environmental experts found mold in a building closed

after a mystery illness struck 20 Independence School District employees,

including the district superintendent.

The district closed the Independence Board of Education Building last month

after employees experienced respiratory problems, headaches, dizziness and

serious muscle problems. Some workers spent days in the hospital.

Employees have been working out of a car dealership building on Noland Road

while environmental experts have been testing the building.

Officials announced that the experts found at least four types of mold in

the building, including Stachybotrys. The mold was found on the top two floors

of the four-story building.

" We do not have a definitive medical diagnosis that says mold is what has

caused the symptoms. We also do not know if there are other contaminants that

may be in the building in addition to mold, " Hinson said. " That testing, again,

continues. "

The testing could last weeks or even months, and district officials don’t

know yet whether the building can be rehabilitated.
