Parents upset they were not told of Dozier mold sooner

Ree Clark is one of several parents whose children attend Dozier Elementary School who want to know why they were not told for several months that there were what they consider high levels of mold in classrooms.

Clark's concerns are intensified because her son has health problems and has been diagnosed with a rare syndrome called Langer-Giedion Syndrome, a condition that causes bone abnormalities. And she said she would have never known about the mold if another parent had not informed her.

"Somebody has got to be held accountable," Clark said. "If our kids get sick, what are we going to do?"

Officials with Montgomery Public Schools first hired a consultant to test the air in specific areas of the school in August and the district has since spent about $35,000 trying to improve the situation, according to district spokesman Tom Salter. The Montgomery County Board of Education could take further action at its meeting tonight.
