GREENSBORO — News that Oak Ridge Elementary School will reopen Feb. 22 was met with mixed reviews at Tuesday night’s meeting of the Guilford County Board of Education.

Melissa Malone said she will not feel comfortable until the results of ongoing monitoring of indoor air quality at the school are made available. Malone’s two children have attended Oak Ridge; her youngest will return in February.

“It’s a stressful and traumatic time,” she said. “Each parent has to decide what they can live with.”

Malone’s son, like many other students and teachers, became very ill while at the school. His mother said he had nose bleeds nearly every day.
