(Rock Island, IL) -- Rock Island High School officials are awaiting final testing to determine whether mold in the north wing of the school has been successfully removed.
The school worked with a local restoration firm this week to remove mold shown in online pictures on instruments in the band room, and in fire extinguisher alcoves.
Board officials say this is a common occurrence in 50% of schools nationwide.
They expect to start school on Tuesday as scheduled.
