Summary
Testing of drinking‑water outlets at Coventry schools returned results below measurable lead levels; the superintendent will publish a letter and results to the community.
The district voluntarily tested drinking‑water fixtures at Coventry schools for lead and reported that sampled outlets returned results in the lowest measurable range, the superintendent said.
Why it matters: Lead in drinking water is a public‑health concern; public reporting and testing reassure families and guide any needed remediation.
What the district reported: The district tested multiple drinking‑water locations in each building (water fountains, filling stations and similar fixtures). Superintendent Don Cowart said every tested location in the district returned results at or below the lowest measurable range and that no results exceeded the Environmental Protection Agency action levels reported in the test summary.
Notification plan: Cowart said the district will send a letter summarizing the results to families and post the scanned test results; the superintendent said the results will be distributed via the district listserv and the district website/social channels.
Next steps: Routine prevention and control measures will continue; no additional remediation steps were required based on the reported results.
