This message is for all staff, students, and parents. Per WV State Code l 8-9E-3, all schools in West Virginia built after 1998 must be tested for radon gas upon opening and then every five years thereafter. All Preston County Schools will be undergoing this routine testing on the following dates: March 2nd and March 12th, 2023. The testing will be conducted using small devices that are harmless to the public and it will last two to four days. The devices will be placed in pre-selected rooms on the ground level and should not be tampered with while in place. Although the test kits are completely safe and post no adverse health effects to the public, they should not be tampered with during testing to ensure accurate test results. Please rest assured that this testing is only routine to check for radon gas. If you have any questions regarding test results for public schools, you may contact the West Virginia Bureau for Public Health, Office of Environmental Health Services at (304) 558-2981 or your local Board of Education.
