Work is progressing on mold remediation at both Andrews Elementary and Newlin Elementary. In an effort to ease any concerns, we talked with Environmental Investigator Scott Sumner about the comprehensive cleaning underway. Crews have cleaned ductwork, surfaces, and eliminated moisture sources. Ongoing monitoring will continue at all ABSS schools. Link to video with more details: https://youtu.be/UTK9gK61G-Q

An application must be completed to receive free or reduced school meals for the new school year. 🥪 If your school is already eligible for free meals or you bring lunch from home, the application is still worthwhile as it provides waivers for testing and college applications! 🖥️ lunchapplication.com
