Environmental Testing
Okemos Public Schools

At Okemos Public Schools, ensuring the safety of our district's students, staff, and environment is paramount. We are taking proactive measures to guarantee transparency and accountability through this website, sharing environmental testing results, including past tests and additional resources. These tests involve a rigorous examination of the health of our buildings.

 

As we continue district wide testing in 2024, we will share the testing plan, results, and lab reports for each school.

LATEST RESULTS & COMMUNICATIONS

WATER TESTING:

As part of the district wide testing plan, Environmental Resources Group sampled 12 areas for lead and other contaminants in the water. Five areas showed elevated levels of lead. No one has been drinking the water from the two sinks that tested the highest. The remaining seven area tested undetectable or below the district's action limit of 5 ppb - although the goal will always be no detectable lead.

​

ERG also sampled water from 12 areas at Okemos High School in March. Most of the 12 samples were undetectable for lead, and only one sample tested at the districts action level of 5 ppb - although the goal will always be no detectable lead. Results are now posted on the high school page.

​

ERG finished testing all of the schools in the district just before spring break started. We prioritized the youngest students and the oldest buildings to be tested first.

AIR QUALITY & MOLD TESTING: Environmental Resources Group conducted follow up mold in dust testing at OPM on March 4. Two areas were retested. Results are now posted.
