District approves expedited cleanup, emergency procurement request and HEPA‑filtered remediation work
Following Dr. Lynch's presentation, the district approved expedited, paid‑rush testing and weekend cleanup work to accelerate reopening. The superintendent said she requested that the roofer remain on site until repairs were verified and asked facilities to arrange contracts that would allow contractors to work extended hours to complete surface cleaning and HVAC servicing.

The district applied for a county emergency procurement authorization to contract necessary services without the usual delays. First On Site and a cleanup contractor began work on site using HEPA‑filtered air scrubbers and microfiber cleaning methods to remove historic settled dust and address localized surface growth. The district signaled it would prioritize the elementary school first and then move to the middle school as the schedule allows; access to the gym will be restricted until a larger remediation can be completed.

District officials said filters would be replaced during the cleaning and that Dr. Lynch would return Monday to determine appropriate follow‑up testing schedules. The initial report and follow‑up recommendations will be posted to the district website and distributed to parents.
