Workers' Compensation

Workers’ Compensation provides employees with appropriate medical care and a portion of lost wages following a work-related injury, illness or disease. Coverage is provided by employers at no cost to employees.

Lead Testing in PSD

new Colorado law requires all licensed childcare programs and public schools serving preschool through eighth-grade students to test their drinking water for lead and take action when results show levels of lead at or above 5 parts per billion (ppb). The goal of this law is to lower children’s exposure to lead, a toxic metal that is harmful to young children. 

PSD staff will take samples of water at all PSD elementary schools and send them to the state health department for testing by May 31, 2023. PSD is required to send samples from all middle schools by Nov. 30, 2024, meeting the requirements of Colorado House Bill 22-1358: Clean Water in Schools and Child Care Centers (signed into law in June 2022). 

PSD is going above and beyond the law by having high schools and office buildings tested too. The district has also opted to test drinking water for copper, in addition to lead.
