12. The district where I was a teacher has put in new ventilation systems

in the school. From my own personal experience with air cond. ceiling filter (only one) was as thick as a quilt. My classroom was so full of black mold it half to be torn down (this was after the district said I was imagining it and gave me a fan, can of Lysol and instructions to keep the door closed, "more pollutants outside than inside they told me" and there were no windows in the room). After the students started getting sick I went to the union and they got an inspector out and condemned the 8 rooms. I was sick but the district doesn't care about teachers, only a little about kids but they do care a lot about saving $$$$ (always the bottom line, no matter where you work). I do NOT trust any school at this point. I know the real concerns about schools and I doubt it has changed in the 20 years since that building made me sick.
