Moldy School?

They closed down a school for mold?

  • A rocky start to the school year after suspected mold was found inside one Southwest Side elementary school.

    Tests were completed at John H. Kinzie Elementary School in the 5600 block of South Mobile Avenue, but the results aren't being shared, as signs point to the first full week of classes being interrupted. 

    Lights are off and no students to be found inside the Garfield Ridge school. What could be found are industrial cleaning crews with oversized equipment as they try to get the school year back on track.   

    For 600 students, the year started with outside classes and classwork in unconventional spots inside the adjacent Kennedy High School. Last Thursday, parents were sent notices by school leaders about the suspected mold in some classrooms. 

Good thing they have all those empty high schools to stuff the kids into.

But how come they never shut down and police stations for problems far worse than mold? Not only were there a dozen or more moldy police districts, the asbestos issues were real, too.

The "cancer clusters"? Those were a real thing, too, and they're still on-going. We can name at least three separate Districts and/or Areas where ten or more cops were diagnosed with cancers, mostly related to environmental issues prevalent in that particular city construction.

Though we suppose after the ILLEGAL ALIEN invasion of the 2020s, we shouldn't wonder at the City's lack of caring.

So a large mold infestation just all of a sudden happened? was there a water leak? because if this was an ongoing thing growing over time then they should have addressed it over the summer before school started ...

All you have to do is look at area 3....just go into lock-up and look up. How many officers had cancer working in area 3.

They were doing asbestos abatement in the old 017 with guys walking around in spacesuits during roll calls and normal everyday operations. The lockup never closed.

I remember how bad the 019 lobby bathroom smelled. It smelled like a dead body was in there rotting.

Closing a school for mold is not a bad thing to a democrat. Now, a new mold remediation buisness can be funded with a no bid contract, and millions can be funneled out of the city budget. Alderman and cronies can have their snootful of taxpayer cash. Everybody wins the "Chicago way" Hell, maybe the State can chip in too. After it is "All for the children" right?

I worked in the old A/5...the roof leaked the entire time I was there. When it rained, trash cans were utilized to catch the water. A janitor had to empty the cans occassionaly when it rained for a long time. When it didnt rain it smelled like mold. No bosses had the time to be concerned about it. They were too busy losing files and rediscovering them on the David Koschman case. I can name at least 3 or 4 supervisors that made easy promotions doing the citys (Daley) bidding. If you still work there or in 025 get health screenings regularly.

Over 32 empty, dry, well ventilated classrooms at Manley H.S. Just waiting to be put to use. That’s just at one location. So why does the Board of Education lease closed schools from the Archdiocese of Chicago and even build new schools to placate community activists who show no concern over children who can’t read?

Same thing with the water. It's all full of lead. It's no secret but not a priority.
