School Superintendent Rick Colpitts said the Otisfield Elementary School remains safe for occupancy, but an ongoing moisture problem in the walls may mean more drastic action to resolve what is assumed to be a mold problem.

“We know we have a problem with mold in the wall,” Colpitts said. “We want to make sure it stays in the wall, and we don't expose it to air.”

Testing in the school during the summer showed samples taken of mold between the Sheetrock and the exterior wall. “So it has to be assumed that mold is in all the walls," Colpitts said. “Mitigation will occur sometime in the future and may involve removing walls.”
