Superintendent Nikolai Vitti ordered new testing of all schools in the spring.
Over the summer results came in for 24 schools.
Martin said teachers are pleased to see the district shut down water consumption at every school for now but at the same time are frustrated to be at this point.
“We have had teachers who have complained of health issues over the years and they believed it could be attributed to the water they’re consuming,” Martin said.
The district is planning to have community meetings to address concerns.
District leaders are hoping that by providing bottled water they can make sure teachers and students for now don’t have to worry about the situation and instead can focus on learning.
