Dear GNPS Community,

This message is to clarify information reported on News 12, which includes Great Neck on a list of Long Island school districts that tested positive for lead in water sources.  It is critical to note that this report references state-required water testing that our district conducted in 2023.  Immediately after the testing was complete, steps were taken to make certain that all drinking sources met Department of Health standards.

In August 2023, we shared a community message reporting the test results and our remedial action plan.  By December 2023, the remediation was complete and our district has been in full compliance with Department of Health drinking water standards ever since. Information regarding our water testing can be found on the district website, here.

We remain committed to sharing accurate health and safety information with our community in a transparent manner.  We hope this answers any questions you may have had regarding the recent media report.

Warm Regards,

Kenneth R. Bossert, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools
