DISTRICT TO BEGIN WATER LEAD TESTING IN ALL SCHOOLS

In reaction to the water lead problems recently raised in Flint, Michigan, and in nearby Newark Schools, the South Orange Maplewood School District is testing water in all schools, according to Superintendent John Ramos.

He announced at Monday night's board meeting that the testing will be done district-wide at a cost of $12,000, with results likely in "a few weeks."
