Dear Parents, Guardians, Students, and Community Members,
Onsted Community Schools is currently addressing an issue with the geothermal system that heats and cools our buildings. An affected area near the soccer fields has been marked off with caution tape and barriers while the issue is being resolved.
The taped-off area is out of bounds and closed to everyone except authorized personnel. Please stay outside this area and remind children to respect the barriers until they are removed.
All appropriate response steps and environmental actions have been taken. Our school buildings remain safe for students and staff, and school will continue as scheduled.
Thank you for your cooperation as we work through this issue. We will share additional updates as needed.
Mr. Stark
District Safety Coordinator / Middle School Principal

What is Glycol?
Intercool P-300 is a propylene glycol-based liquid used to transfer heat in heating and cooling systems. It helps prevent freezing and contains additives that protect pipes and equipment from corrosion.
For safety:
Do not drink it or touch spilled liquid.
Stay outside the caution tape and keep children and pets away.
If it gets on skin, wash with soap and water. If it gets in eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water.
Leave cleanup to trained personnel. Spills need to be contained and kept out of drains and waterways.
If swallowed or you have concerns about exposure, call Poison Help at 1-800-222-1222.
