2006-09-25 Director of Schools letter to parents and faculty at Nannie Berry

The current situation began in late July when staff began returning to school for the upcoming year. Mold was discovered in several basement areas, and the district hired Geosciences Design Group, LLC, of Nashville to perform air quality tests in the facility. The tests found the airborne mold spore count in the building was lower than that found in the natural environment outside the building. However, the count was elevated from results obtained when the building was last tested in 2004. Geosciences determined that high humidity in the buildings lower level, likely caused by deficiencies with the air-conditioning unit, led to the mold formation in all but one instance. In that case, a leaking pipe above a ceiling tile was determined to be the primary cause of the mold. Once discovered, the pipe was immediately repaired,

The pressure testing can, in a sense, be considered as one of the methods of nondestructive testing (NDT) of parts; it involves the testing of parts without destroying them. NDT is profitable because it can (help) bring down the number of parts rejected. Foundries can, based on the NDT result of sample castings, modify their mold design and revise other casting techniques (such as, chilling) for producing sound castings for onward delivery to customers. A proper use of NDT can also (help) lower per unit costs of castings. Mention may be made here: the number of product liability lawsuit against a foundry by customers due to defective products can be reduced by, for example, administering NDT on those products.

Granted, the objectives incorporated into the curriculum and those tested by the exam are fundamental elements that all students should be familiar with. However, they are already being tested and reviewed in class in a more effective way that allows for individuality. The purpose of awarding grades for assignments is to determine the level at which a student has mastered a subject. The TAKS test is often years behind the level at which students should be tested when the exam is administered. For example, the questions on the 5th grade test incorporate concepts from 3rd grade; the 11th grade test centers on concepts from all previous grades, yet fails to include many of the objectives covered during 11th grade. With so much emphasis placed on one test, other objectives that contribute to a well-rounded education are ignored.

The Large ems construction features add to its precision performance. Long platen supports resist tilting and ensure parallelism of the moving platen and the mold, while linear guides with low frictional characteristics protect high sensitivity molds. Durability and reliability test results confirm the rigidity of components. And, although the Large em is the largest injection molding machine of its type, it features the shortest footprint in its class due to its two-platen clamp design.

Ive often wondered what would happen if a house were retested a few years after one of those 48-hour tests. A while back, I found out. Theres a house in my neighborhood that was once known as the hottest radon house in all of Tennessee. The original test result, as I recall, was about 69 picocuries per liter. The EPA action level, at which the EPA says the house needs to be fixed, is just 4 picocuries per liter. Well, some years after the hot house topped out at 69, we tested it and got a reading of about two picocuries per liter. Granted, thats just one repeat test, pretty close to scientifically meaningless. Still, it made me wonder how many houses that got 48-hour spot checks would have shown very different readings if they were tested every year or two.

St. Louis said most molds spawn from a water leak in the house. Fix the water problem and youll likely fix the mold problem. All molds can cause problems, he said. Therefore, it is more important to clean away the mold than determine the type. "Our perspective is the consumer must remedy whats an obvious source of mold growth first and not jump right to do the testing," said Jerry Farrell, deputy commissioner of the states Department of Consumer Protection.

An additional concern is that mold will grow in damp or humid environments. Potential health effects can occur, such as an allergic respiratory reaction, from exposure to airborne mold spores. The very young, the very old, those with compromised immune systems, those with allergies and other significant pre-existing health problems are at greatest risk. Eliminating standing water and keeping moisture levels below 60 percent will prevent mold from growing. Open windows, use fans and dehumidifiers to lower the moisture levels after pumping standing water. Mold cleanup can be done by residents who protect themselves by using an N-95 facemask and rubber gloves, using soap and water for impermeable surfaces, such as cement floors. Be sure to dampen surfaces before cleaning to avoid putting mold spores into the air. Any porous materials

There are, however, two major flaws with "objectivity" and "fairness," two of the virtues cited in prevailing test models. Just take an example from departments where a foreign language is taught. First, students whose command of the foreign language is a little bit better than that of their classmates are in an advantageous position, regardless of their intellectual aptitudes. Yet universities have to test brains, not tongues! Second, there are too many students who pass all the tests with high grades but simply do not speak this foreign language in a way that could be described as acceptable. I regard such outcomes as neither academically fair nor objective. Universities have to reward students who understand, not those who just can pass tests.
