At least 253 New Jersey Jake Arrieta Jersey schools have reported high levels of lead in drinking water over the past year, and there could be more as the data continues to be developed, a new report says. New Jersey Future, a nonprofit, nonpartisan Greg Maddux Womens Jersey organization that promotes sensible growth, redevelopment and infrastructure investments, released a report Thursday that shows the first statewide compilation of the results of school districts' tests for lead in their facilities' drinking water. The state Department Fergie Jenkins Jersey of Education declined to comment on the report, only saying every district must make all test results available at the school facility and on the district's website. The regulations also require notification to the Department of Education, as well as to parents, in any instances Ernie Banks Jersey where positive results over the established level are reported. The New Jersey Future analysis shows that lead was found in drinking water in districts of all types and sizes and in all geographic areas of the state. In virtually every case, remedial action was taken, such as David Ross Jersey shutting down the water fountain or putting up a sign that says "DO NOT DRINK."
