Students at Talbot Community School in Portland will get their school year started Friday. The opening of the school was delayed after mold was found in more than a dozen classrooms last month.

According to CBS 13, the school district announced last week that the start of classes at Talbot would be delayed for two days to make sure key instructional spaces were cleaned and tested.

School leaders say all spaces except for the gym and a small number of offices have been cleared for occupancy.
