El Dorado County health and school officials have reopened the Oak Ridge High, Rolling Hills Middle, and Silva Valley Elementary school campuses and El Dorado Hills Community Services District following a precautionary closure due to a noxious odor.

Officials received word from the Federal Environmental Protection Agency that air-monitoring results from the Oak Ridge High School track and in some classrooms on Sept. 19 indicate that the impact from the incident appears to have passed. Air monitoring levels detected did not pose a risk to health and safety.

Health officials believe the incident was localized to the Oak Ridge High School track and additional air monitoring by theEPA on Saturday have confirmed this.

Aside from persons experiencing initial symptoms, there were no reports of medical attention sought by teachers or students due to this incident. Schools have notified parents that the schools have been opened and school and activities on school campuses will resume as normal today. For additional information, visit www.edcgov.us.
