Facilities

Our Facilities Department provides leadership and oversight for all district-owned buildings and grounds. This includes planning, maintenance, cleaning, upgrades, capital projects, and coordination of building use. 

Whitehall Central School District has two school buildings and a bus garage. The Junior-Senior High School was constructed in 1963 and serves students in grades 7-12. The Elementary School was built in 1968 and serves pre-kindergarten through grade 6. The buildings are well maintained through small, regular capital projects that have used the unreserved portion of the school district’s General Fund Balance.

Water Testing Results

In accordance with the law, the district will conduct water testing at all buildings with the assistance of a state-approved laboratory. In accordance with the law, if the lead level from a water outlet exceeds the state’s action level of 15 parts per billion, the district will take immediate action. The state’s regulations require that all such outlets be taken offline, or otherwise restricted until a remediation plan is implemented, and further testing indicates that lead levels are below the action level.
