Manipulates secretary 2

Someone had called the press, and the furor overnight had been enough that the school board had closed school for the day to give them three days to try to repair the issue. It wouldn't be nearly enough, but it might at least create the appearance that they were doing something.

Mold was pretty common in schools, especially in our area. Older schools had structural deficiencies and had large populations entering and exiting at all times. Brockton Bay was a coastal community, and humidity tended to be high. It often rained and backpacks were covered in water and slung everywhere. There were leaks in the pipes, and as a result a large population of roaches and other insects.

However, this particular breed of mold was particularly dangerous, and Principal Blackwell had known about it.

The news had made the evening news, and while they hadn't named the whistleblower, I'd known who it was. The secretary had decided that Blackwell was planning to retire her, and so she'd taken proactive actions.
