Mexico middle school closed immediately because of poor air quality

SUN JOURNAL • October 8, 2024

Mountain Valley Middle School will be closed the remainder of the week due to the air quality, Regional School Unit 10 Superintendent Deb Alden wrote in a letter to staff, parents and families. The issue is “forms of mold spores,” Alden said Tuesday. “This is the third (test) we’ve had done and each time it was different areas that showed problems. This time it was really bad,” she said. “There is a reason we’re building a new school,” she said.
