The Office of Environment performed a mold inspection of the gymnasium, gym office, and storage closets.

The inspection was a result of the student desks within the portable wing (#193) that were impacted by mold growth.  The new desks were stored within the gymnasium during a time period before being moved into the portable wing.  It cannot be determined when or where the desks incurred mold growth.

The mold growth was observed on wood shelving.
