Water Quality Review at BAPS & GCHS

MARATHON, Ontario – The Superior-Greenstone District School Board (SGDSB) is currently working with appropriate officials to conduct a review of the water quality at B.A. Parker Public School and Geraldton Composite High School.  This action follows the observation of water discolouration on April 30, 2025. 

 

Out of an abundance of caution, the Board has implemented a temporary disruption to the drinking water supply at both schools.  Potable drinking water is being provided for students and staff beginning immediately.  All other water services within the schools, including those used for handwashing, dishwashing, and restrooms, remain operational and safe for use. 

 

“Our priority is the health and safety of students and staff,” said Will Goodman, Director of Education at SGDSB.  “We are committed to keeping our school communities informed and to taking all necessary precautions while the water quality review is underway.”

 

The Board will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide updates as new information becomes available.  SGDSB thanks families, staff and the broader community for their patience and cooperation.
