## Resource

A school building evacuated just four weeks after reopening due to mold found in a classroom, sparking outrage from parents who say their kids are getting sick. The district, which spent $2 million on renovations, is relocating all materials to four other schools — but parents demand proof the building is safe, not just promises. One board member admits money may have been wasted, and many believe the district hid the problem earlier. Teachers must relocate this Thursday, students return Tuesday — at new campuses — causing chaos for families. This crisis has shattered trust and exposed how vital transparency is when it comes to student safety. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
