PEORIA, Ariz. -- Some parents in the Valley are deeply concerned about the possibility of mold inside their children's classrooms. And with the chance of more rain on the way, it has added a sense of urgency at Terramar Elementary near Happy Valley and 67th Avenue in Peoria.

Parents said this isn't the first time they've had this issue.

In fact, they said they believe it's a leak in the building that hasn't been fixed for a couple of years.And although the district said there isn't any mold in the building from last weeks storm, some parents said they don't believe it.

"I want to be more reassured that my kids are in a safe environment," said Dex Nolan.

Nolan said she has a 13-year-old and a 10-year-old at Terramar Elementary, but she kept them home from school Monday.

"Partly to make a statement and because I have seen mold there, she said. They can't tell me there's no mold, and that makes me not trust them when they say there isn't mold. I have seen mold."
