Delay in Start of School - Letter To Parents (EYSD)
Delay in Start of School - Letter To Parents (EYSD)
Dear Parents/Guardians,
The purpose of this letter is to let you know of a concern that was brought to our attention
earlier this week. As you may be aware, mold has been discovered in the lower level of Eastern
York Middle School (EYMS). The concern was reported on Monday, August 13th at
approximately 10:00 a.m. At that time, the affected area was isolated and school administrators
directed all employees to leave the building.
Paul Davis Emergency Service, a restoration company, was contacted and asked to
provide assistance in remediating the issue. A Team Leader from Paul Davis arrived on site at
approximately 11:00 a.m. and reviewed the lower level classroom areas and discussed possible
remediation methods. Upon authorization, a team of technicians from Paul Davis was dispatched
to the school to begin the process of drying out the rooms and getting humidity levels under
control. At this point, the humidity levels have been brought down from 80% to 50% which is
operating at a normal acceptable range.
