Guest guest Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Update: LJ Aleman Mold Discovery Posted: Aug 7, 2008 08:34 PM EDT Updated: Aug 9, 2008 08:04 AM EDT Mold Discovery Halts Start Of LJ Aleman KLFY - Lafayette,LA* http://www.klfy.com/Global/story.asp?S=8808481 School started Friday for Iberia, Saint and Lafayette parishes, but at LJ Alleman Middle in Lafayette, that first day will come Monday for fifth and sixth graders. This after officials found mold in the campus walls. Officials say the situation is under control but reports coming into TV 10 are contradicting those claims. We first told you about the mold situation Thursday, but now it seems there's more to it. Take a look at these pictures a teacher with the school emailed to us. You can see mold along the ceilings, walls and doorways of rooms in the building. The teacher who does not want to be identified, says the mold in these pictures date back about a year. This goes against what school officials told us. Officials claim they spotted mold in the walls of the fifth and sixth grade wings a couple of weeks ago. We went to the school Friday to find out what parents think about the recent news of the presence of mold in their children's school. One parent we spoke with said that a couple of weeks ago they were made aware they were having roof or leaking problems in some of the walls. That's how long ago the Lafayette Parish school system said they found Mold at LJ Alleman Middle School, a couple of weeks. But a teacher with the school, who asks to remain anonymous, says the mold has been a problem at the school for at least a year. With the recent mold sightings both students and parents are still skeptical about how healthy their school is. School officials say they've been working for weeks to clean up the infected wing and the class rooms will be safe for those fifth and sixth grade students come Monday.
