Mold infestations, exacerbated by climate change, are widespread, impacting both educators and students. The article emphasizes the importance of healthy working conditions for teacher retention and student well-being. It calls for urgent attention to address the dire state of school buildings, highlighting NEA’s advocacy efforts for improved indoor air quality and infrastructure investments.
