Dear Community Members,
With all the illnesses this season, we wanted to share some guidelines for infection prevention. The district is also disinfecting buildings to help with the spread.

The entire building and each unit were checked for a gas leak, and no natural gas was detected. Technicians have determined that the exhaust and fresh air intake system was not functioning as designed, creating the odor. The district is taking steps to remedy the situation, and the Lower Elementary has been cleared for occupancy. We understand the inconvenience and concern this causes, and we appreciate the patience of our parents.

UPDATE #3 - Lower Elementary Evacuation: ONG has completed a pressure test on the system. No leaks were detected. Each unit is being inspected independently at this time. Pre-K and K students can be picked at the APB, next to the Intermediate school.
UPDATE #2 re: Lower Elementary Evacuation: The Lower Elementary building was evacuated this morning because it was reported to maintenance that there was a smell of natural gas. Maintenance could not rule out the possibility with certainty when they inspected the building. In an abundance of caution, the decision was made to evacuate the building. So far, Glenpool Fire and ONG have inspected the inside of the building using natural gas detection devices. There was no natural gas detection inside the building, so children were never exposed. At this time, ONG is running tests on the meter, and I will update you as we get more information. -Supt. Layton

School WILL be in session today. Buses will run normal routes. Maintenance is clearing sidewalks. See you soon.
Warrior Community,
The Lower Elementary has been cleared for occupancy. Oklahoma Natural Gas was called on site and tested the entire natural gas system to ensure it was safe. They tested for carbon monoxide and all tests were negative.
We appreciate the cooperation of the community and for our outstanding teacher and staff for making this as smooth as possible.
Student and staff safety will always be our top priority. I hope you enjoy the long weekend
Respectfully,
Curtis Layton
Superintendent of Schools
