Lead Testing Requirements
New legislation requires all schools serving K-5 students to test each water faucet for lead. A letter was sent out via email today to parents who have children at Jefferson Park, Centennial, and the Junior High. You can read the letter in full by clicking on "Read More" below. The short version is that we found some traces of lead at Centennial and in the 5th/6th-grade building, but nothing major. We are taking precautions to address even places where there were minor findings.
Public Hearings
Prior to our December Board meeting, we will have 3 public hearing meetings. They will be at 6pm, 6:20pm, and 6:40pm on December 18th in the Centennial Library. The formal hearing notices are posted below. I wanted to also share a little more information about what a hearing is, and each one in particular. Formal processes like these can seem strange - and often require awkward wording. My intent is to translate some of the legalese - and be open about what the hearings are all about. If you're interested, read below. And if you want to see the official public notices, click below and scroll down. You can see the official agendas by clicking here.
