School mold panel a good step

A Dayton Daily News editorial

The health problems at West Carrollton High School continue to be

befuddling. The school district's Wednesday night panel discussion was a

good step in the right direction.

The discussion attracted 325 people to hear experts and to ask questions of

them about the symptoms teachers, staff and students have reported. The

widespread symptoms - sometimes referred to as allergylike, but serious

enough to require medication and cause some people to stay away from the

building - are widely thought to have something to do with substances

present in the building, such as mold.

People got to hear Wednesday from experts who have studied the situation and

are familiar with similar situations elsewhere. Apparently, such problems

are not uncommon in public buildings.

That the problem is being taken seriously by the authorities seems pretty

clear. The state, the county, the feds and the private sector all have been

brought in. Physical changes have been made. New tests have been conducted,

and some improvement in air quality has been reported.

Still, people are worried. In these circumstances, it remains crucial to

keep the lines of communication open, to air issues in public, to answer

questions in whatever quantity they might arise and to give people access to

experts who don't work for the school district.
