CROSS LANES -- Concerns of mold at one local school have parents demanding answers. Tuesday evening at Andrew Jackson Middle School, the Local School Improvement Council met with parents, teachers and staff to discuss the mold problems inside the building. Several parents on hand say their kids have been coming home from school feeling ill and doctors tell them it has to do with the school's dirty condition. "[Tuesday my daughter Courtney] came home from school and she had splotches all over her here and around the neck here," said Michelle Kidd, pointing out the marks on her daughter's body. "They need to shut this school down for at least a week or two and clean it from top to bottom front to back," said parent Sandra Smith. Board of Education member Pete Thaw was in attendance at the meeting. He took pictures and information back to the rest of the board. As far as testing, air quality inside the school was checked on September 18th. County Maintenance Director Terry Hollandsworth tells 13 News they will release information regarding the results Wednesday.
