Water Testing
State law requires all public school districts in New York to test water for lead. The law requires school districts to sample all water outlets currently or potentially used for drinking or cooking purposes in buildings that may be occupied by students, and to submit those samples to a state-approved lab for analysis. Regulations call for testing to take place every three years, unless the state Commissioner of Health requires testing sooner.
The state established an action level of 0.005 milligrams of lead per liter, typically referred to as “parts per billion (ppb).” If a sample from a water outlet exceeds this level, schools must take steps to prevent the use of the outlet for drinking or cooking purposes until it is remediated and follow-up testing confirms it is no longer above the action level.
School districts are required to report the results of all water testing to the state Department of Health, the state Education Department and the local health department, and to post the results — along with remediation plans, if required — on the official district website.
Sag Harbor Schools conducts water testing according to the state law. Results of testing will be posted on this page as they become available.
Pesticide Spraying
The Pesticide Notification Law requires the District to form a registry of any student, parent, or staff member who wishes to receive notification 48 hours prior to a regulated pesticide application. Individuals may request that their names be added to the school registry at any time during the school year. Please be aware that in case of emergency, we may not be able to provide a 48-hour notice. All interested parties should contact Paul Wilken, Director of Facilities III, in the Building and Grounds Office at 631-725-5300 Ext. 453.
Monday through Friday, from 8:00 am – 3:00 pm.
Annual Asbestos Notice
Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) is a federal law enacted in 1987 that requires all school districts to re-inspect for asbestos-containing building materials. Our facilities have been inspected and response actions were developed to ensure a continued safe environment for our students and employees. Activities include training of custodial and maintenance staff to prevent disturbance of asbestos and periodical re-inspection and surveillance activities by trained personnel. The AHERA Management Plan is available for your review at the following locations:
