Mary Potter School has been a cornerstone of our community in Oxford, NC, since it was built in 1889. This historic institution has not only been a testament to our rich history but has also been a place where countless students have found their voices, including myself. It pains me to see this beloved school in peril due to a severe mold infestation that threatens its legacy.

The air quality within Mary Potter School has become a grave concern, Granville County Public Schools have relocated Granville Academy and Central Office Staff. But they need to restore the historical site and its legacy to not be consumed by mold.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), indoor mold can cause numerous health problems and is particularly harmful to children, who are more susceptible to respiratory issues. In a learning environment, the quality of air is crucial, not only for health reasons but also for maintaining focus and productivity among students and teachers alike.

This petition calls upon Granville County Public Schools to take immediate and effective action to remediate the mold problem in Mary Potter School. We encourage them to allocate necessary resources to remove the mold and ensure a safe environment for everyone in the school. By investing in these solutions, we can preserve this historical landmark and protect the well-being of its students and staff.

It's our responsibility to ensure that Mary Potter School remains a beacon of education and opportunity for future generations. Please join me in demanding action to save this invaluable institution. Sign this petition and make a difference in the lives of countless students who rely on Mary Potter School for their education and personal growth.
