As you have likely read in The News Journal, Delaware’s Public School drinking water situation is alarming.

Lead contamination has been found at numerous schools statewide, yet no public statements have been made by any legislators about this issue. Instead, Delaware Health and Social Services and Delaware Department of Education have pointed fingers at the School Districts, while children and families have no answers on this issue.

We are outraged at the lack of parent and community notification about the risks of lead poisoning, the failure to notify students and school employees who were at risk for lead poisoning in their school drinking water of the importance of blood lead screening and testing, and the extended delay in making this information available to the public.

We are asking for information, clarification of our questions, and accountability about this problem and how it will be corrected so that the drinking water in every public school is safe.
We are requesting a joint House-Senate Hearing of the Health and Education Committees.

We ask that you sign and share this broadly with your networks.
