Please read the following letter from Superintendent French explaining what the "Get The Lead Out" results mean and the continued process. https://bit.ly/3SSzb1g
Last Tuesday I received the water sample test results from the "Get The Lead Out Of Schools" testing the district conducted. LCC-1 had 138 sample points tested, with 28 of those samples testing above the 5 parts per billion requirement. The following two links contain the test results, immediate action steps, and the next steps which include flush sample testing. We have already completed the immediate action steps and the flush sample testing follow-up is scheduled for this Friday 3/1/24.
