Mold sampling at Pawtucket Memorial Elementary found one room needing extra cleaning; resampling scheduled
Summary
Monthly surveillance sampling at Pawtucket Memorial Elementary School found one non‑classroom room that required additional cleaning; staff reported the room was cleaned and resampling is scheduled for February.
At its Feb. 5 meeting the Board of Health reviewed the monthly mold surveillance sampling results for Pawtucket Memorial Elementary School and was told all areas tested were acceptable except for one small room where additional cleaning was recommended.
Board members said the affected space was not a classroom but a small occupational therapist room where vents were partially obstructed. According to the report, custodial staff performed the recommended cleaning soon after the finding and the department scheduled follow‑up sampling for early February. "The recommendation was also to resample in February, which I believe will be done," a board member said during the meeting.
Staff reported improved communication with the school: the building contact notified the health director after cleaning and provided the date of the next report. The board did not take formal action but noted the department will receive and review the resampling results at the next reporting cycle.
