Kennedy High Reopens After PCE Testing | California News

Kennedy High School in Richmond is officially back open after a tense summer of chemical contamination fears — but the good news is, the campus is now declared safe. Testing revealed trace amounts of PCE in just two areas — the welding shop and kitchen — likely from everyday products, not underground seepage. Those spaces remain closed for now, with a temporary kitchen in place, but students are thrilled to return. The district spent over $100K on testing and air purifiers, and while no further tests are scheduled yet, they’re committed to ongoing monitoring. Classes resume Tuesday — safe, clean, and ready for students. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
