A cleaning and storage firm has filed a $1.5 million lawsuit against the

Romeo School District.

Statewide Disaster Restoration Inc. was hired by the school district to

remove, clean and store furniture after black mold was found in the

district's Washington Elementary School.

The district approved $200,000 for the work and is claiming that they were

charged over $700,000 in unauthorized charges.

The final bill with legal fees could total over $2 million.

Several potentially hazardous forms of mold were found at the school last

May. The building was ordered closed until the mess was cleaned.

Other schools throughout Macomb County hosted the students from Washington

Elementary while their school was closed. Most students were able to return

to the school last week.
