Students Return to Kyrene de la Sierra After Air-Quality Clearance

Independent testing found no roofing-related chemicals after deep cleaning.

Overview

  • Classes resumed on Jan. 6 after months off campus, with students previously relocated to Kyrene Altadeña Middle School and Kyrene de los Cerritos Elementary.
  • A December report by Dominion Environmental Consultants found significant reductions from August findings and detected no roofing-product chemicals.
  • Dominion concluded the building’s air is acceptable for occupancy, noting elevated TVOC in two hallways primarily linked to cleaning products.
  • District crews completed a deep cleaning of the school prior to reopening.
  • Over winter break, the district commissioned two independent experts for additional testing, released the first report, and said a second is expected this week.
