Black mold keeps Asheville High students out of classrooms
ASHEVILLE - After recent discoveries of black mold in multiple Asheville High classrooms designated for career training, students and teachers continue to wait as an extensive cleaning process continues.
Asheville City Schools acknowledged the presence of mold in the Career and Technical Education (CTE) Building, which sits next to the main high school building on campus.
“With guidance from a local environmental company, the affected classrooms were immediately shut down and cleaned,” said Ashley-Michelle Thublin, executive director of communications at Asheville City Schools. “Before any student or staff member is permitted to return, scrubbers are purifying the air and all diffusers, returns and equipment are being cleaned.”
Thublin declined to say if the health of students was ever at risk before affected classrooms were made off limits.
