Aramark, Ulmer, Otto, William Penn, food service, maintenance, Rich Ulmer, Angel Ramirez mold crisis that is currently happening at the William Penn School District in Darby Pennsylvania Phila Pennsylvania
I cannot comprehend how anyone can continue to ignore the mold crisis that is currently happening at the William Penn School District in Darby Pennsylvania. As I write this, I can't help wondering how many children have been unknowingly affected by this harmful and deadly toxic, yet it amazes me how their service provider Aramark, and the school officials just go on ignoring the problem.
For those of you that do not know, MOLD CAN AND WILL KILL!
The School District rents an office area at 801 Quarry Street in Darby. They pay an incredible $6000 a month for this place, yet are only offered the one half of the basement. No one else occupies this building, except for pigeons on the other floors, snakes and wildlife that make their way into a shelter for the night. Floors are missing, electrical wires hang down wildly, dust and dirt cloud as you walk, water and sewer pipes are broken and rotted. The former mayor tried to have this place shut down, but was unsuccessful because of political connections.
The place was ravaged few years back when Hurricane Floyd wreaked its rage, yet this place was never touched for clean up. The basement where the maintenance guys work and eat was submerged under three to four feet of water. Mold is very visible on many parts of the walls just from first look, and I can hardly imagine what the place looks like beneath the sheetrock.
William Penn is an eleven school district, and all supplies are housed at this location. These products are then delivered to schools by an Aramark employee Anger Ramirez, as well as any mold spores or diseases on them. Aramark director Richard Ulmer says he doesnt care. The supplies are money.
Aramark says the products are fine. The District says the products are fine. But the truth of the matter is, they are not. Mold is obvious at this location, and workers that have worked here for any length of time have probably been poisoned, and children as young as six use the paper products stored here everyday.
Why is, no one cares? Aramark is the service provider for William Penn, and I used to work there. I was the maintenance manager for a year until I began to question the safety of these schools, which is when I was sent away to keep quiet.
I also brought up how sprinkler systems at schools are shut off, or no lock down doors are in place in case of an attack, or alarms are turned off to save overtime, or asbestos tiles are not being removed, and many other risks.
The children that attend these schools are in danger. Their lives are being put at risk, and Aramark is to blame. How can anyone sit and support this company knowing that small children are being put at risk?

Have you tried contacting the Philadelphia area media - specifically the TV media

Have you called any of the Philadelphia area TV stations? I see similar types of reports all of the time by their investigative reporters. Call WPVI (Channel 6), WCAU (Channel 10) or KYW-TV (Channel 3) and tell them what's going on. If they do a report on this issue and make the public aware of it - especially the parents of the students in the William Penn School District - the public will put the pressure on the school district to change things.
