ABSS Alert: We are aware of multiple Facebook posts claiming a Graham High School student's alleged hospitalization due to mold, we want to clarify that this claim is untrue. We've received no official confirmation, and our administration is unaware of any such incident. The post also references maintenance and carpentry crews, but they are at the school for thermostat adjustments and whiteboard installations, not mold-related work. Students are safe and comfortable in their designated areas. Your children's safety is our top priority, and we'll address any concerns as needed. Thanks for your understanding and support.
