CDC denies MHD's request for help with MPS lead contamination

  • Milwaukee Public Schools faced a growing lead problem in March, 2025, after identifying unsafe levels in seven schools.
  • The Milwaukee Health Department sought federal help from the EPA and CDC to address the MPS lead exposure.
  • LaFollette, Starms Early Childhood Center, and Fernwood Montessori remained closed after spring break due to the lead issue.
  • Dr. Aaron Bernstein informed Milwaukee officials that the CDC could not provide support; he stated, "I sincerely regret to inform you that due to the loss of our Lead Program, we will be unable to support you with this EpiAid request."
  • The CDC declined support due to staff layoffs, leaving Milwaukee to address the lead crisis without federal expertise.
