6-Point Plan
- All drinking fountains will be turned off and water dispensers supplied to CM Middle School and Coretta Scott King Magnet in place of the drinking fountains.
- *Portable hand-washing stations will be provided for each bathroom so students do not wash their hands in the sink. The water to the sinks will be turned off to prevent accidental usage.
- Hand-sanitizer dispensers will be installed in each classroom to provide continual cleanliness.
- *
A filtration system will be installed so dishes can be washed using water. The filtration system will be installed before the hot water tank and used solely by the dish-washing machine. UPDATE: 8/15/2019 - Test results from IDPH show no detectable levels of lead in water. As such, no filtration system is needed. By recommendation of IDPH, the District has implemented a flushing program. This involves allowing fixtures to run for a minimum of 10 minutes and then systematically flushing all remaining plumbing fixtures.
- Use a sanitizer called Sanibet to clean tables in the cafeteria and desks in the classroom which is safe and does not need to be mixed with water.
- The Food Service staff will create food items that are hot or cold using fewer pans.
*If test results from IDPH show unacceptable levels of lead in water.
UPDATE: 8/27/2019 - IDPH results show no detectable levels of lead. Filtration system installation not needed.
