Kearsley Families,
As part of our 2022 Bond initiative and in alignment with one of our primary district goals of providing safe and innovative learning environments, Kearsley Community Schools recently contracted with Arch Environmental Group to conduct a thorough safety inspection and testing at all district buildings. This comprehensive testing and sampling took place over several months, beginning in November 2023 and concluding in April 2024.
Tests included:
Indoor air quality measurements for temperature, relative humidity, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, total hydrocarbons, percent oxygen, total dust, and general VOCs
Background asbestos air monitoring
Short-term radon sampling
Water sampling
Additionally, a visual inspection throughout all facilities was conducted with the intent of identifying visible indications of mold growth or contamination, unusual odors, or other obvious building pollutants. Arch Environmental has provided us with a detailed report that indicates no further investigation or corrective measures are required or recommended at this time. All parameters measured during the investigation were within applicable guidelines or regulations for human exposure and do not represent a potential health concern. We take pride in these results and will continue to be proactive in our efforts as the safety of our students and staff remains our top priority.
As we look towards next school year and beyond, I am hopeful and excited. Our entire community should be proud of the many additions and upgrades to facilities, curriculum and technology in support of Kearsley students, staff and families. I encourage everyone to take time to rest, rejuvenate and spend time with family over the next few months. Have a safe and relaxing summer. Go Hornets!
Sincerely,
Paul Gaudard
Superintendent
