Notice to Public and Press:
As previously reported, professional cleaning crews have been hard at work cleaning Butner-Stem Elementary School over the past four days preparing it for retesting. Earlier this afternoon, Sunday September 3, an environmental laboratory testing service conducted air quality testing throughout the main building (building one) of the school and all results came back clear for staff and students re-entry. This means that school will finally begin for everyone at Butner-Stem Elementary School on Tuesday, September 5. While cleanup continues on the air conditioning piping in building two, all 4th and 5th grade students will attend their classes at Butner-Stem Middle School. We anticipate this may take 4-6 weeks before building two is ready for re-entry.
All students at Creedmoor Elementary School and Butner-Stem Elementary School will now be back to their regular schedules. We have contracted with this same laboratory to conduct periodic testing at both of these schools on a regular basis. We are also contacted engineers and HVAC experts to address the humidity issues.
We are also currently scheduling ALL schools to be tested for their air quality. Additional details about this testing will be provided as we have them.
