MADISON, Wisc. — Brittany Kinser, candidate for DPI Superintendent released the following statement in response to the announcement by Mayor Johnson, Milwaukee Public Schools, and Milwaukee Health Department of harmful levels of lead in multiple MPS facilities:
“MPS and DPI continue to fail our students, with this latest episode permanently maiming children due to gross mismanagement. An investigation must be launched immediately and DPI, Milwaukee Schools, and the Milwaukee School Board must transparently detail to Milwaukee parents how they intend to keep their children safe.
“As a former principal, I am no stranger to lead testing and abatement of school facilities. That this could have slipped through the cracks is just this week’s most outrageous example that our kids deserve better than what DPI and MPS are providing.”
