08-11-26 Soil Remediation Status

August 11, 2026

As the new school year approaches, the Pasadena Unified School District (PUSD) wants our employees, families, and the broader community to have a clear picture of where soil remediation and restoration work stands at each affected campus. District teams and contractors have been working urgently through a complicated and, at times, disrupted process to complete as much of this work as possible before students return.

We have made significant progress, but some campuses will still have outdoor areas under remediation or restoration when school begins. The update below shows where each site stands today, what work remains, and most importantly, what students and families can expect when campuses reopen.

For purposes of communicating with employees, families, and the community, we are grouping the remaining work into four phases: 1) Site Preparation; 2) Soil Removal & Clearance; 3) Restoration; and 4) Expected Timing. The statuses below reflect current conditions:
