Water Testing Program
CMS launched a proactive water quality program to protect the health and safety of students and staff and to ensure learning and teaching in a safe environment in school, not in response to any specific condition or issue. Our goal is to test water quality in all schools.Six states — Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York and Virginia — have required school districts to test for lead. North Carolina has not required the testing.Parents are notified prior to testing at the schools. Parents will be notified should any conditions be found that experts advise may pose serious concerns related to the health or safety of students and staff. Testing in elementary schools was completed first. Where corrections have been made, they were related to specific fixtures, not the general water supply of any school.
