MIDDLE TOWNSHHIP – The exact source of mold at Middle Township Elementary School No. 1 has not been determined, says Superintendent Michael J. Kopakowski.

In December, a Somerdale company found mold in 34 rooms at the school, including the main office and nurse’s office. During the district’s winter break, a mold remediation company based in Cape May County cleaned the school.

This week, the Board of Education released air and surface quality testing results to parents and the media. The delay in providing information had been because the district wanted to give accurate information, Kopakowski said.

“Correcting the moisture source is crucial to avoiding a reoccurrence” of mold, according to an initial testing report. “The two apparent contributing moisture sources were from leaks and surface condensation.”
