Today the New York City Health Department and New York City Public Schools announced new measures, backed by a $5 million initial investment from the city, to make water in New York City Public Schools safer. By increasing lead testing rates and water flushing rates, and taking new steps to protect drinking water, these efforts will help further reduce the risk that students are exposed to high levels of lead in drinking water.

ALT Screenshot of part of city and state article: “More than half of the NYC Council sent a letter to Mayor Mamdani, Commissioner Jessica Tisch, the city’s district attorneys and administrative judges to investigate why a handcuffed woman was forced to give birth in a Brooklyn courtroom last month. The letter, organized by the council’s progressive and women’s caucuses, comes several weeks after a 33-year-old woman named Samantha Randazzo went into labor during her May 15 arraignment at Brooklyn Criminal Court. At nine months pregnant, she was handcuffed behind her back as she waited to be arraigned for low-level drug and trespassing charges. While NYPD officials say the handcuffs were removed while Randazzo was in active labor, her baby was delivered by a court officer without any medical equipment, and she was reportedly in full view of multiple court staff. . Mere hours earlier, she was discharged from Coney Island Hospital despite being in police custody and heavily pregnant.”
