WILLIAMSBURG — The city’s Department of Education (DOE) says that the black mold problem at M.S. 577 in Williamsburg has been eliminated after last weekend’s cleanup, but parents and area politicians want the city to move the kids to alternative sites while more testing is carried out.
Parents say that DOE Deputy Chancellor Kathleen Grimm “dismissed concerns of lingering health risks” at the middle school at an emergency meeting held earlier this week.
