Susan Brinchman is worried about the condition of school buildings across America. She says a pair of moldy school buildings cost her two jobs, her health and her ability to teach future generations. Now Brinchman is reaching out online with her own nonprofit, the Center for School Mold Help. With teaching in her blood, she hopes to educate teachers, parents and school boards on the health hazards of toxic mold – before they experience it firsthand.
