TESTING FOR LEAD IN SCHOOL DRINKING WATER
On July 13, 2016, the State Board of Education adopted regulations regarding testing for lead in drinking water in public schools throughout New Jersey. The regulations have been filed with the Office of Administrative Law and are effective immediately.
OVERVIEW OF REGULATIONS
The regulations required testing for lead in all drinking water outlets within 365 days of the effective date of the regulations, which was July 13, 2016. Samples must be sent to a certified testing laboratory for analysis. All school entities must conduct lead in drinking water testing from all drinking water outlets during the 2027-2028 school year.
NOTIFICATION
Every district must make all test results available at the school facility and on the district's website. The regulations also require notification to the New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE), as well as to parents, in any instances where positive results over the established level are reported. The Morris County Vocational School District has complied with this regulation and these results are available below.
