Dear Staff and Parents/Legal Guardians:
 
You may have heard or read a story that aired on News12 earlier today regarding water quality and Long Island schools.  The Kings Park Central School District is committed to protecting the health and well-being of our students, teachers and staff. In compliance with the New York State Department of Health (NYS DOH) regulation titled Lead Testing in School Drinking Water (10 NYCRR Subpart 67-4), earlier this year we performed an updated inventory of all water outlets in the school district and another round of sampling of all applicable water outlets. As you may be aware, these water outlets were previously tested in 2016 and 2020.
 
The sampling of potable water outlets (water outlets used for cooking or drinking) was performed by our environmental consulting and testing firm.  
 
In accordance with this regulation and our remediation plan, any outlets which revealed concentrations of lead above the New York State’s action level of five (5) parts per billion have been removed from service or otherwise restricted until a proper action and/or remediation was performed. As I reported to the community this past April, our facilities team then worked diligently to ensure all remediation was performed in compliance with NYSDOH regulations.
 
Details pertaining to these outlets can be referenced on the district’s website – facilities tab. As always, if you have any questions, comments or concerns, please contact the facilities department at 631-269-3329.
 
Sincerely,
 
Timothy T. Eagen, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools
