Carbon monoxide detector installed at Lakewood Elementary

Following the internal air quality incident at Lakewood Elementary this week, Dallas ISD installed a carbon monoxide detector at the school.

The detector in the school's boiler room ties into into the school’s alarm system, providing a direct notification if carbon monoxide levels rise to an unsafe level.

The district is in preliminary efforts to install such carbon monoxide monitors at all other Dallas ISD schools, spokesman André Riley said. This effort is in preliminary stages and has not been finalized.
