Lubec school committee authorizes LCOC to investigate black mold, air quality
Summary
The RSU 85/MSAD 19 school committee unanimously granted the Lubec Community Outreach Committee permission to inspect air ducts and investigate suspected black mold and indoor air quality concerns after a facilities report flagged ongoing heating problems.
The RSU 85/MSAD 19 school committee voted unanimously Nov. 7 to give the Lubec Community Outreach Committee (LCOC) permission to investigate suspected black mold and air quality in the school’s air ducts.
Richard Huntley Jr. moved the measure and Jane Lanctot seconded. The motion passed without recorded opposition. The action follows committee reports that building heat was “still not working properly,” an issue Huntley raised earlier in the meeting.
Superintendent MaryEllen H. Day had reported on routine administrative matters earlier in the meeting, including staff appointments and an October revenue and expense report; the board did not attach a budget vote to the investigation authorization. During public comment, residents raised related facility concerns about heating and contractor expenses.
The committee did not set an explicit timeline or scope in its motion; the vote grants the LCOC permission to investigate and report back to the board. The committee’s next meeting will be the next scheduled opportunity for any LCOC findings or recommended next steps to be shared with the board.
