Dear Lackawanna Trail Community,

Last year I published a series of flowcharts to communicate the most efficient ways to address situations that need your attention, and it is time for a refresher.  Please follow the flowcharts below to help ensure both the proper chain of command and the best chance of remedying the situation.  Communication is crucial when it comes to problem solving, and I appreciate your attention to this protocol.   

Sincerely,

Matthew Rakauskas
Superintendent

Dear Lackawanna Trail Community,

Earlier this week I notified you that I was temporarily shutting down water fountains near the guidance office and at a faculty room at the junior-senior high school out of an abundance of caution due to elevated levels of lead recently detected during mandatory water testing.  The School District continues to work with the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) on a lead mitigation action plan to resolve the issue.  DEP has provided us with some additional educational information, and I have attached three documents for your review as per public notice mandates.  These public notice documents are effective Friday October 17th, 2025, and supersede my previous notices.

Sincerely,

 

Matthew Rakauskas

Superintendent
