Welcome to the City of Milwaukee Health Department!
Ongoing lead hazard investigations with MPS
The City of Milwaukee Health Department (MHD) has identified hazardous levels of lead contamination in multiple Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) buildings. These findings, uncovered through separate case investigations by our Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (CLPPP), in consultation with the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS), confirm lead hazards inside MPS buildings that exceed state safety standards. As the city’s public health authority, we must inform you that these findings pose an immediate and ongoing risk to the health and safety of students and staff.
