The results of recent testing detected mold in various locations within Alfred Letourneau and Westall Elementary Schools, but concluded that levels were “not alarming.”

Fall River Educators Association President Keith Michon explained that the mold growth was detected in dust that had not been wiped clean with a fungicidal disinfectant, according to Massachusetts Teachers Association Environmental Health and Safety representative Scott Fulmer's recommendations. “Airborne mold levels were normal to slightly above by his conservative standards in some areas,” Michon said.

After collecting the samples, Fulmer's recommendation for remediation for those areas was a “deep cleaning.”

“We have been in discussions with the superintendent about when that cleaning will take place and if it will be done by district personnel or a third party,” Michon said.
