Monday was the first day of school for Pottsville Area but the students of John S. Clarke Elementary will have the remainder of the week off.
Elementary School parents received a letter Monday from Superintendent Jeffrey Zwiebel informing them that mold tests came back positive for the building.
The tests were reportedly done Friday and results were received Monday afternoon indicating that above normal mold levels were found in some areas of the building.
An update will be provided Friday after more testing and remediation is completed.
