Suits filed
against Florida school boards
Washington Times Newspaper,
March 3, 2004
WASHINGTON, March 2 (UPI) -- The law firm of Babbitt, Johnson, Osborne &
Le Clainche Tuesday announced it had filed 11 suits over alleged toxic
mold in two Florida schools.
The suits were filed against the Charlotte and Sarasota County school
boards and contractors and builders by parents who assert their children
got sick as a result of the school systems' failure to address mold
problems.
These are the first major suits on mold in schools on Florida's west
coast, but are preceded by similar suits in Broward County.
In April 2003, a Broward County grand jury issued a report condemning the
Broward School District for lagging in its efforts to get rid of mold. The
county responded by launching a comprehensive remediation program but
still was sued by parents concerned with their children's health.
State Sen. Skip Campbell of Coral Springs has introduced a legislative
bill to make Broward's program mandatory statewide.
