#71 - Mold, Mice, & Retaliation in Boise School District - Fighting For The Kids Pt.2 w/Michelle Chung
Description
When culinary arts teacher Michelle Chung first reported mice in her classroom, she never imagined it would lead to a parasite infection, major surgery, and a battle against a school district determined to silence her at all costs. In this powerful follow-up episode, Michelle reveals shocking new developments in her fight for classroom safety and accountability.
The situation has escalated dramatically since her first appearance. After paying her own money for a professional inspection that confirmed hazardous conditions, Michelle discovered the district had covered her classroom in bleach to hide evidence of mouse urine and droppings, creating a toxic environment that even hazmat-suited inspectors couldn't safely remain in. Rather than addressing the dangers, administrators emptied her classroom while she was on medical leave, removed her nameplate, and incredibly, threatened students with detention for mentioning her name.
This isn't just about one classroom, it's a window into systemic failures that prioritize institutional reputation over health and safety. As Michelle fights not just for her career but for student wellbeing, her story raises urgent questions about accountability in our educational system and what happens when dedicated teachers stand alone against administrative corruption.
