Questions Remain After Schools Merged

Another suspected mold finding forced a school to shut down and merge with another campus. This time, it happened in the North Forest Independent School District, KPRC Local 2 reported.

Parents said they are concerned about what students have been exposed to at Tidwell Elementary, located at 8000 Tidwell Road in northeast Houston.

LaKeithia Jenkins has three children at Tidwell.

"I'm trying to find the truth. I heard more than one story," she said.

"I need to be in school. I don't need to be at home," said Chyrieka Laviene, 13.

She had to baby-sit her three siblings who won't be going back to school until next Tuesday.

North Forest I.S.D officials haven't released a final air quality report, but board trustee Barbara Gaston told Local 2 that relocating Tidwell students to A.G. Hilliard at 8815 E. Houston Road would probably last until the end of the school year.

Key Middle School in the Houston Independent School District had to shut down and move students to Fleming Elementary last month after dozens of teachers and kids said they were suffering with respiratory problems, headaches and nausea.
