Dear Lee Park Families:
The Hanover Area School District is extending the virtual learning format for Lee Park Elementary School.
In collaboration with the abatement company, district officials conclude that the most accurate reading for healthy air would come days after abatement work has been completed. As a result, the project concludes today, allowing several days of air purification for accurately measuring air quality.
As a result, students will do in-person instruction on Monday, November 17th, 2025.
Sincerely,
Nathan Barrett

Notice to Families and Staff - Lee Park Elementary Air Quality Update
On October 10, 2025, the Hanover Area School District conducted an annual routine air quality test at Lee Park Elementary School, which reported no concerns.
On October 23, 2025, an interior water pipe burst occurred within the building. Following cleanup and sanitization, as a precautionary measure, a secondary air quality test was performed on October 27, 2025. Those tests indicated the presence of mold spores that require further remediation.
As a result, to ensure the safety of all students and staff, the Hanover Area School District will conduct additional testing and professional cleanup. During this time, Lee Park Elementary will transition to remote (virtual) instruction until midweek next week.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work to maintain a safe and healthy learning environment for our students and staff.
Regards,
Nathan Barrett

To: Hanover Area Community,
As you know, the District embarked upon a project to improve and update Memorial Stadium for the betterment of our students, staff and the community. While relying on the expertise of construction and lead abatement professionals, conditions arose beyond the District's control which necessitated a clean-up of lead dust at the field and its facilities. Despite exhaustive daily efforts to remediate the conditions at the field, it appears that clean-up and restoration efforts will require more time. In an effort to ensure the safety of our students, staff and the community, the Superintendent and Board of Directors, after consultation with lead abatement experts and construction professionals, has determined that a full remodel and restoration of the locker room facilities may be necessary to fully ensure the safety and well-being of all.
Unfortunately, this unexpected reality will mean no home games will be played this year. The Superintendent and Board of Directors look forward to and are committed to making every effort to providing this District with a more modem, remodeled and, most importantly, safe environment for all for next season while we endeavor to hold those responsible for this situation.
Sincerely,
Mr. Nathan Barrett
Superintendent of Schools

A community message from our Superintendent:
August 7, 2024
Dear Community,
The purpose of this correspondence is to notify the Hanover Area School District
community about a current situation with which we are dealing. As you may be aware, the
District has undertaken a project to repaint the home bleachers at Memorial Stadium. A portion of that project involved the removal of existing paint and prime - of which at least one layer contained lead. The process of removing the lead paint layer involved chemical and abrasive means. While conducting the abrasive means of removal it was discovered that lead containing dust migrated into the areas below the bleacher system. We are currently working with an environmental professional and contractor to determine the level of contamination and process for proper remediation. The work zone has been restricted and, in an abundance of caution, the football program has been relocated to the High School athletic complex. We will provide additional information as it becomes available. There is no reason to believe that any staff, students, athletes, coaches or the community were in contact with the contamination.
Sincerely,
Nathan Barrett
Superintendent of Schools
