Mold forces school to relocate

BENICIA, CA — Kindergarten students from St. Dominic's School may finish their school year at Mills Elementary School after the discovery of mold in the ceiling, walls and floor forced school officials to seek an alternate location to hold classes, according to the Vallejo Times Herald.

Mills Elementary School, which is slated to be turned into a community center, was quickly remodeled to accommodate the incoming kindergarten students; city officials replaced the carpet, repaired the heating and air conditioning unit and repaired both restrooms, the story stated.

The $7,400 price tag for the remodeling and rent for the remainder of the school year will be split between St. Dominic's School and the City of Benicia, the story noted.

The Benicia City Council will make a final decision tomorrow to approve or deny the move, which school officials hope will allow them to move in Wednesday, the story added.

According to the story, St. Dominic's School students are on spring break this week.
