Chillers at Pawtucket Memorial confirmed operational; EMSL classroom readings below outdoor levels

Board members asked for clarification on an EMSL indoor-air report for Pawtucket Memorial School and whether planned HVAC upgrades were completed. A board member noted the EMSL report attached to the packet lacked a narrative and asked about two classrooms that previously had higher readings. Public-health staff said the laboratory results were at or below outdoor levels and that the two classrooms in question had notes about open windows; staff promised to email the full narrative to the board. On HVAC work, staff said they spoke with Paul Stace and confirmed that the chillers at Pawtucket Memorial are installed, turned on and functioning and that the building temperature was 72 degrees at the time of the update. The board had earlier been told the chiller installation was expected in October, so members noted the early completion with appreciation. This was informational; staff will circulate the EMSL narrative for the two classrooms and the board recorded no enforcement or operational actions at the meeting.
