Dear
MPSD Families and Staff:
The
Marshfield Public Schools recently opted to participate in a voluntary program
offered by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to
test for lead and copper in our school water system. As you may be aware, school districts from
across the Commonwealth are taking similar steps. Please see the link for information as per
DEP:
Per
the DEP’s recommendation we tested all fixtures considered a drinking source in
our schools. The test results from all
schools have not been returned, though results from a few schools just came
back to us. As we receive information on
each individual school, we will follow up with a school-specific letter
outlining the findings from those schools and possible steps that we may have
to take based on the findings.
As
always, our school system is committed to protecting student, teacher and staff
health, and we will work with the DEP to ensure we are meeting the needs of the
entire school community.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey
W. Granatino
Superintendent
