They’ve had all summer to find and kill the mold and they wait till the day before school to do something. And what the hell will be accomplished with the 1st two days of virtual learning for the kids?!

I was thinking the same thing. Plus the school was full of students, parents, and teachers for the Open House yesterday.

Piney Point also has a delayed opening but for different reasons. I guess the school board will be asking for more money to prevent delays like this.

Yea.. I saw that one also. The Piney Point delay is alittle more understandable than the Esperanza delay.

To be fair, it could be that the mold didn't develop until the summer months when the building isn't fully air conditioned, and depending on where the mold was it may not have been discovered until a teacher got back in their classroom and started moving stuff around. That could have led to further investigation into other areas and a bigger problem found. I've seen it happen that way. I'm just glad they're actually closing to fix it.

It took over a year and a lot of repeat treatments to get our island community building certified mold-free and back open again. That stuff knows how to hide...

Couldn't you just slap some ablative antifouling paint from one of your boats on the walls and call it a day?
