Parents can't believe it's true ...

Teachers, parents and concerned community members sat down at Point

Harmony Elementary School to hear for themselves how the school

plans to move the second grade students -- who are now being taught

in two moldy portable units out back -- into the main building.

Says fifth grade teacher Dinah Adkins, " Even though it's going to be

a difficult move -- and it's going to make the school crowded -- I

think it's definately something that needs to be done. "

Adkins says she's seen the effects of the moldy classrooms on Mrs.

Nichols -- one of the second grade teachers -- who has been very

vocal about the need to get her students and herself out of there.

" I've watched it get progressively worse. "

" If you walk into the room you can smell the mildew and the mold and

it's just not a pleasant place to be, " says Tammy Vagheei, a Point

Harmony parent. But she adds, news that the students are being moved

out of the portable units as soon as next week, took her off guard.

" It's always been told -- it's gonna be, it's gonna be soon --

they're gonna get rid of 'em and I'm surprised it's actually gonna

actually happen. It's about time. "

Point Harmony will be closed this Friday so that teachers can pack

up their old classrooms and move into new temporary space inside the

main building.

" And hopefullly on Monday, " says Vagheei. " I think these teachers do

need more adequate time to make the transition and I think the

children deserve to have their classrooms in tact when they start

back to school. "

Superintendent Duerring would have to make a final decision on that.
