The Milwaukee Health Department and Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) announced the closure of three schools starting Monday, following concerns about "significant lead hazards." Parents and family members of MPS staff are now voicing their worries,

Weber said lead issues at MPS schools aren't going away, noting a lot of buildings have not been maintained and have chipping paint and layers of dust. The health department must investigate all MPS buildings built before 1978, when lead paint was banned. Eighty-five schools across the district are in that category.
