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.

The environments where our children live, learn, and play are crucial to their health and future. Protecting them from lead exposure is essential to their safe and healthy development.

The City of Milwaukee Health Department’s (MHD) Home Environmental Health (HEH) program is dedicated to reducing exposure to harmful substances, such as those found in aging homes, where lead paint can be a hidden danger. On this page, you will find resources that help you identify potential environmental hazards and provide guidance on protecting your family’s health.
