It looks as though the District is on top of things though.

Per the school districts website: "On Sunday, July 22, 2007, a mitigation contractor began cleaning Woodmen Hills Elementary School under the industrial hygienist's supervision using appropriate containment and cleaning processes. The district is hiring specialized contractors to remove mold at the other sites. All schools are expected to be fully cleaned and open by the regularly scheduled start of school in August. The schools will be re-tested to ensure successful removal prior to being reopened."
