Get The Lead Out
Get the Lead out of School Drinking Water Act Notification
In 2022, the Missouri legislature passed the Get the Lead out of School Drinking Water Act (RSMo 160.077), which sets standards for lead concentrations in school drinking water. The law requires schools to conduct inventory, sampling, remediation, and monitoring at all potable drinking water outlets used or potentially be used for drinking, food preparation and cooking or cleaning utensils.
The district’s facilities staff identified sources that could potentially be utilized for drinking water by students and faculty. The following sources are included in the inventory:
- Drinking fountains with single bubbler,
- Drinking fountain with multiple bubblers,
- Drinking fountains with a bubbler and bottle filler,
- Bathroom sinks,
- Breakroom sinks,
- Built-in or wall mounted sinks in classrooms,
- Exterior spigots,
- Ice machines,
- Hot drink machines,
- Kitchen sinks for food preparation,
- Kitchen pot fillers,
- Kitchen sinks for hand washing,
- Kitchen sinks used for pot and utensil cleaning, and
- Dishwashing equipment (sprayers included).
Lead testing was conducted in June 2023 in all buildings. Results from samples showed that all water outlets passed the standard set by the Get the Lead Out of School Drinking Water Act.
