Lead Levels Found Near Fire Site | California News

Lead levels found in soil at two LAUSD elementary schools near the Boyle Heights warehouse fire are above state limits—but officials say classrooms remain safe. Elevated readings at City Terrace and Christopher Dena are likely from historical sources like old paint or agriculture, not the recent blaze. Both sites have been fenced off while the district reviews results and considers remediation options like mulch. Parents will get updates at a virtual meeting on August 17th as schools reopen. With a 561-page report in hand, LAUSD vows to keep families informed and prioritize student safety as the new school year begins.
