A parent of a Claudine Brown Elementary student says her child’s health was adversely affected by environmental conditions at the school.
After Cassandra Townes, the parent of a 6-year-old boy with severe respiratory problems, complained of the indoor air quality, the Leflore County School District contacted a consultant to examine the site.
“I’m not taking this student’s health lightly,” Superintendent Jean Hall said. “We’ve corrected what (the consultant) told us to correct. We’ve done everything we were told to do.”
However, Townes said she suspects her son, Ryan Edmond, is still having reactions to something in the school. His pattern of illness is known as “sick building syndrome,” in which an illness is caused by or intensified in a particular location.
“Mold can be dangerous to any child, but I know it hurts my baby,” Townes said. “He’s allergic to it.”
