Alexandria Township School to resume in-person classes after mold discovery

Alexandria Township School in Hunterdon County has announced that all students are expected to return to in-person classrooms on Monday following a mold outbreak. The school was forced to transition 422 PreK-8 students to remote learning on September 4 after testing revealed mold in 33 classrooms.

The mold was reportedly caused by heavy rains, high humidity, and cool nighttime temperatures. While PreK through fourth-grade students returned to the building earlier this week, middle school students in grades five through eight have continued virtual lessons. School officials stated that recent testing results were encouraging, allowing for the full reopening of the facility.
