High levels of airborne spores found at Hutt Valley High School last term forced the closure of 16 teaching spaces and other facilities, and one block is now slated for demolition.
Acting principal Denise Johnson suspects some staff health problems could be linked to exposure to mould.
The health and well-being of staff and students was the school's first priority, she said.
