Minor mold growth was initially reported in late May 2022 on a few small sections of walls at the campus. This is not uncommon, as mold particles are found in the air at all times. FBISD’s Facilities Department performed the EPA-approved standard cleaning procedure using an anti-microbial cleaning agent to remove the mold.

Further testing was conducted to ensure there was no mold growth inside the walls. Results indicated there were no concerns within the walls, but mold was discovered in the insulation above the ceiling that surrounds the chilled water piping.
