Board approves emergency cleaning and asbestos testing in G‑Hall after incident
Summary
The Wallkill Valley board authorized emergency contracts for cleanup ($6,371.28) and asbestos testing ($1,505) in G‑Hall and approved building‑use requests for local recreation and Special Olympics practice.
The Wallkill Valley Regional High School Board approved emergency actions to address an unspecified environmental concern in G‑Hall, voting to enter into an emergency contract with First Onsite for cleaning and sanitizing affected areas at a cost of $6,371.28 and a separate emergency contract with Environmental Health Investigations, Inc. to test flooring in affected areas for asbestos at a cost of $1,505.00. The minutes record these actions as emergency contracts entered by the Board.
In the same section the Board approved building use requests, including Wallkill Valley Recreation Softball for gym practices and North Jersey Special Olympics for track practice. The minutes do not provide detail about the cause of the contamination or the testing timetable beyond the contract authorizations; the asbestos testing contract is intended to determine whether flooring materials in G‑Hall contain asbestos.
The Board approved the contracts as emergency measures; the School Business Administrator/Board Secretary is responsible for contract documentation and payment processing. No testing results are recorded in these minutes.
