SALINAS, Calif. -- Four classrooms were shut down at Steinbeck

Elementary School on Friday due to mold.

District Superintendent Pulido said he received an air quality

report that morning showing that the rooms were contaminated with

high levels of mold.

Pulido said he then ordered teachers and more than 100 students to

be moved to other classrooms.

On Tuesday, the district will ask voters to approve Measure A, a $90

million bond to improve schools, leaving some to question the timing

of the mold report.

" We have no control when we receive reports back from these

analysis, " Pulido said.

District officials said additional tests for mold contamination will

be conducted on the campus later this week.
