Posting the Press Release due to people being unable to open it.
Press Release
Reagan Middle School notified District Administration at approximately 7:30 am that a “glue like” odor was detected in the gymnasium, locker room, and hallways inside the building. Students were beginning to enter the school building for the start of the day, and they were directing students outside until the source of the odor could be found.
Madison Elementary was also evacuated outdoors for safety purposes even though the odor was not detected in their building. Local law enforcement, the Dixon Fire Department, and the City of Dixon Public Works were notified to assist in determining the origin of the odor and next steps that should be taken.
Air quality monitoring was conducted by the Dixon Fire Department, with no toxic gases being detected. The City of Dixon determined that sewer work being done on Fargo Avenue was the source of the fumes. City Officials notified the School District that fumes from the resin being used to line the existing wastewater main did not pose a risk to students, staff or school visitors. Additional -air quality monitoring was conducted this morning, confirming the earlier satisfactory findings.
This evening, City and school district staff will jointly inspect the school to be certain the odor has dissipated. Air quality monitoring will continue tomorrow morning by the Dixon Fire Department prior to the start of school to ensure the building is safe for students and staff to return. If there are any additional issues found we will notify parents/guardians as soon as possible. We have been informed by city officials that the sewer work being done on Fargo Avenue will be completed by the end of the day today.
This afternoon, all bus routes and shuttles will run normally and adhere to shuttle times. RMS girls’ volleyball has been moved to DHS, the YMCA After Care Program is cancelled for today, and Cross-Country Coaches at RMS will help athletes get their uniforms/equipment before this afternoon’s meet.
We are planning for a normal day of school on Friday, and look forward to seeing everyone back in school and ready to learn tomorrow.
Congrats to our Madison Students of the week from last week and this week! #MadisonMighty
