Hello Supporters!

We have unfortunate news.  Three other MPS schools have been added to the list of schools with lead problems.  Visual inspection by MHD has lead to the planned closure of: LaFollette School, Starms Early Childhood Center, and Fernwood Montessori.  We believe MHD will be completing testing at these sites as well as remediation work.

We continue to get in the data about lead in water and dust at these schools and provide the information to the community through planned Community Assemblies.  Tomorrow, March 15th we will hold our second assembly at the Bayview Community Center from 2:30-4 PM.  We hope you can join us to get the information you need as well as support and resources.

The petition has been updated to keep you up to date with the information coming out.  Please consider following us on Instagram (@leadsafeschoolsMKE), Facebook, or by visiting our website leadsafeschoolsMKE.com.  

We are looking for community members to get involved so that we can continue to demand answers and solutions that put the health and safety of our community first!

Please also take a moment to send this petition to friends, families, and colleagues.  We want to show strength in numbers and get our voices heard.

Thank you for your continued support!
