Kennedy High campus closed pending additional environmental testing

What happened

After preliminary testing found PCE beneath Kennedy High, WCCUSD barred staff and students from campus and began planning where students would start the school year.

Why it matters to families

Kennedy families face an immediate campus-access restriction and possible temporary relocation while agencies determine whether the site is safe.

The evidence

The August 3 release says DTSC saw no immediate health risk in the preliminary results but required more testing; the district restricted entry until that work is complete.
