La Union Elementary transitions to remote learning due to water quality concerns

SUNLAND PARK, New Mexico (KVIA) -- La Union Elementary is now added to the list of some Gadsden Independent School District campuses transitioning to remote learning due to the water quality concerns.

Officials with the Camino Real Regional Utility Authority provided an update on the quality of the water in Sunland Park and Santa Teresa Saturday, after an issue at the arsenic treatment plant earlier this week led to elevated levels of sulfuric acid, which raised pH levels.

The temporary transition to remote learning for several campuses begins Monday, December 4th, 2023.

The affected campuses include:
● Sunland Park PreK
● Riverside Elementary
● Desert View Elementary
● Santa Teresa Middle School
● GAC On-Track PreK
● Santa Teresa Elementary
● Santa Teresa High School
● La Union Elementary

The selected campuses listed above will begin Monday's instruction after a two hour delay to allow students to retrieve their Chromebooks.
