Lead in Drinking Water
All school districts, education service districts, and public charter schools are required to test for and eliminate exposure to elevated levels of lead in water used for Drinking and Food Preparation through either remediation or eliminating access, according to OAR 333-061-0400 and OAR 581-022-2223. In conformance with those administrative rules, Beaverton School District certifies the following:
- Testing will be done according to the testing requirements in OAR 333-061-0400;
- Samples will be analyzed by a lab accredited by Oregon Health Authority to test for those materials;
- Water fixtures required to be tested under OAR 333-061-0400 will be tested for elevated levels of lead in accordance with the testing schedule developed by the Oregon Health Authority;
- The testing schedule for each building covered by this plan is provided below:

2020-2021 Data
Water sampling was conducted at the below school locations in June 2021 by an independent consultant. Lead in water testing is required per Oregon Department of Education (ODE) and Oregon Health Authority (OHA). This was planned follow-up testing to a district-wide program which was initiated in 2016. For sample locations that had a concentration above the action level (15 parts per billion), we are currently taking actions to reduce the concentration of lead in these locations. Access will be restricted to these individual sampling locations until mitigation and follow-up testing can take place to verify concentrations are below the criteria set by OHA.
A sample location may test above the action level for a number of reasons to include, debris being caught in the water aerators or hydrant testing performed in the community. Another contributing factor may be the lack of usage of the fixtures during the pandemic. As for mitigation, Maintenance plumbers will inspect all locations that tested above the action level and use corrective measures such as additional cleaning, maintenance, and flushing and then schedule a retest of that location. If necessary, the plumbers may also need to replace a fixture.
According to OHA, when considering your child’s exposure to lead, it is most valuable to review potential sources of lead in your home. The OHA’s lead resources website has more information on this topic.

Radon
Beaverton School District has developed a radon plan as required by ORS 332.167.
The Beaverton School District's comprehensive Radon Program outlines our approach to identifying and minimizing radon risk over the next five years. The program was submitted to the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) in August 2016, and conforms to the requirements of ORS 332.166-167 to conduct radon sampling in all schools and support facilities in all frequently occupied spaces in contact with the soil or located above a basement or a crawlspace by January 1, 2021.
Integrated Pest Management
Carbon Monoxide
Beaverton School District certifies that all buildings subject to the Healthy and Safe Schools Plan comply with the carbon monoxide detection standards in the state building code that was in effect when the building was originally constructed or as required by building code due to addition, upgrade, or remodel.
