Facilities report: lead testing found 11 exceedances; some fixtures posted non‑potable, remediation planned
Summary
The assistant superintendent for facilities told the board that triannual lead testing found 11 sites with exceedances; some fixtures are posted nonpotable and remediation (filters or fixture replacement and retesting) is planned while notifications have been sent to parents.
The district reported results from state‑required lead testing and described next steps for remediation. The assistant superintendent for facilities told the board that the district "did find that there were 11 sites where we found exceedances." Some fixtures have been posted as non‑potable and will be taken out of service for drinking until remediation and retesting occur.
Remediation options described included installing certified filters on affected fountains or sinks, replacing fixtures and retesting before returning them to potable service. The facilities official said parents have been notified and that details and site‑specific results are posted on the district web page under parent notifications. Officials emphasized that many fixtures tested are not used for drinking and clarified that a non‑potable posting does not necessarily mean a fixture failed a test, but in some cases that the fixture has not yet been tested and is posted pending testing because of regulatory requirements.
