Lead Testing Information 

2025-2026 School Year

Dear Parents/Guardians:

On September 6, 2016, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo signed legislation (A.l 0740/S.8158) requiring all school districts and boards of cooperative educational services (BOCES) in New York State to test potable (drinking) water systems for lead contamination and to take responsive actions. The State Department of Health and the State Education Department has established an action level threshold of 5 parts per billion.  The water sources that test above this level must be immediately taken out of service, and corrective action must be taken.

Water samples were collected from all potential drinking water sources throughout the district this fall, including typical drinking water sources such as drinking fountains and kitchen sinks, as well as areas not typically associated with drinking water, such as custodial closets and bathroom sinks. The results of this testing are to the left.  

The District will replace or remediate affected sinks as appropriate. Before the water source is back in service for students and staff, additional water tests will be conducted to determine whether the replacement/remediation was successful.

Please be assured that the district is in full compliance with the regulations and has worked diligently to ensure drinking water throughout the district meets the State requirements.

 Sincerely,

 Diane Fox
Superintendent
