WEST TERRE HAUTE, Ind.  – Clean-up continues at West Vigo Elementary School.

The building will reopen to students and staff on Wednesday, but some classrooms impacted by mold will remain off limits.

Vigo County School Corporation Communications Director, Bill Riley, says the entire school was tested and the issue is isolated to three rooms, which tested ‘slightly out of above the industry standard’ for aspergillus/penicillium.

A handful of students and staff reported coughing and eye irritation last Thursday afternoon, prompting an evacuation.

The rooms that tested positive are receiving new flooring, new ceiling tiles, new point, and new air filters. The school corporation also rented air scrubbers to clean and circulate the air.

School officials are looking into the possible source of the mold. There will be more testing before allowing students back in the affected classrooms. Another week or two may pass before that can happen.
