The Westport Board of Finance tonight approved the additional expenditure of almost $300,000 for continued mold remediation at Coleytown Middle School (CMS).
The approval of $286,605.55 to be taken from the Board of Education Carryover Account is in addition to what Elio Longo, director of school business operations, estimated last August was $600,000 to $680,000 already spent on the issue.
“We believe at this time that we have addressed the identified mold concerns-issues at Coleytown Middle School,” Longo said. “What remains at this time are some water infiltration problems throughout the front entrance.”
He said 28 classrooms at CMS have been remediated along with two major hallways.
