Good afternoon, Bellevue Community,

We are sharing an update on our latest air quality test results, the final targeted room remediation, and the school schedule. Most importantly, we will be returning to the Bellevue building tomorrow! Please see all the details below. 

Facility Updates:

  • The vast majority of the building has been cleared for re-occupancy. Only three rooms (201, 304, and 305) require additional remediation. 

    • Test results are attached.

  • Rooms 201, 304, and 305 have been completely sealed off from the rest of the facility, and crews have completed additional remediation work today (Wednesday, September 9).

  • Additional air quality samples were collected. Rooms 201, 304, and 305 will remain completely sealed and out of use until full testing clearance is confirmed. 

  • Relative humidity throughout the building has been in the 44-46% range. Humidity levels below 60% inhibit mold growth, so the very low humidity levels are an important part of our defense against future mold growth. 

  • Teachers have been hard at work reorganizing their classrooms to prepare for students’ return on Thursday.

  • The HVAC system throughout the building has filters that will continue to clean the air and trap particulates. We have also kept the circulation fans turned off to reduce air movement between rooms. We will continue to monitor the air coming through this system, including adding additional HEPA filters before re-activating the circulation fan at a later date. And as with any older building, we will continue to explore possible sources of moisture to reduce the chances of a recurrence.  

Schedule Updates:

  • We look forward to welcoming our teachers and scholars back into the building for instruction on Thursday morning!

  • Alternative placements within the building have been arranged for scholars who typically learn in rooms 201 and 304.

  • Room 305 is not a classroom.

Transportation Updates:

  • Standard, regular school bus routes and schedules will resume tomorrow, Thursday, September 10, for the official return to Bellevue Elementary.

Thank you for your continued patience and partnership. We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow at Bellevue!

With great appreciation,

Jason
