In the excerpt оf аn Assоciаted Press Article, the аuthоr highlights the concerns after the CDC lost staff who tracked certain health data for the nation. Write the recommendations paragraph of a memo from the Mayor of Milwaukee to the US Health Secretary regarding the impact of the loss of staff to support the lead study data tracking. To effectively write it, you will need to outline the pros/cons of the potential recommendation. And prepare one strong position statement for the mayor, hoping to persuade him to reverse the action. By MIKE STOBBE Updated 12:16 PM CDT, May 4, 2025 NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s motto is “ Make America Healthy Again,” but government cuts could make it harder to know if that’s happening. More than a dozen data-gathering programs that track deaths and disease appear to have been eliminated in the tornado of layoffs and proposed budget cuts rolled out in the Trump administration’s first 100 days. The Associated Press examined draft and final budget proposals and spoke to more than a dozen current and former federal employees to determine the scope of the cuts to programs tracking basic facts about Americans’ health. Among those terminated at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were experts tracking abortions, pregnancies, job-related injuries, lead poisonings, sexual violence and youth smoking, the AP found. “If you don’t have staff, the program is gone,” said Patrick Breysse, who used to oversee the CDC’s environmental health programs. Lead poisoning The CDC eliminated its program on lead poisoning in children, which helped local health departments — through funding and expertise — investigate lead poisoning clusters and find where risk is greatest. Lead poisoning in kids typically stems from exposure to bits of old paint, contaminated dust or drinking water that passes through lead pipes. But the program’s staff also played an important role in the investigation of lead-tainted applesauce that affected 500 kids. Last year, Milwaukee health officials became aware that peeling paint in aging local elementary schools was endangering kids. The city health department began working with CDC to test tens of thousands of students. That assistance stopped last month when the CDC’s lead program staff was terminated. City officials are particularly concerned about losing expertise to help them track the long-term effects. “We don’t know what we don’t know,” said Mike Totoraitis, the city’s health commissioner. Milwaukee Health Department may shut down city schools due to high levels of lead Gov. Tony Evers' budget proposal seeks funding for lead risk investigations, mentions MPS By Evan Casey February 24, 2025 Updated February 24, 2025 at 8:30 am Her child attends Golda Meir Lower Campus in Milwaukee. A recent lead risk assessment from the Milwaukee Health Department determined all floors and windowsills at that school were considered to be a “dust lead hazard.” A follow-up lead hazard assessment at the school last week found two surface wipe samples “did not pass lead safety standards.” City officials gathered earlier in the month to announce dangerous levels of lead dust had been found at Golda Meir Lower Campus and Kagel Elementary School in Milwaukee. One student at each of those schools tested positive for lead poisoning. Health officials said on Feb. 11 that two additional students have tested positive for lead poisoning. Those children attend Maryland Avenue Montessori School and Trowbridge Street School of Great Lakes Studies. Lead risk assessments are now underway at those schools. Tyler Weber, the Milwaukee Health Department deputy commissioner for environmental health, said the cases are the first time schools within the Milwaukee Public Schools system were identified as the cause of lead poisoning in children. There are around 85 schools in the MPS system that were built before 1978 when lead-based paint was banned. Harris, the interim chief school administration officer, said those include 26 high schools and five middle schools. The other 54 schools are kindergarten through eighth grade or kindergarten through third grade, according to Harris. Nearly 70,000 students are enrolled at MPS, while around 8,500 staff are employed by the district. Children younger than age 6 are “especially vulnerable to lead poisoning,” according to Mayo Clinic. Lead poisoning can affect children’s mental and physical development. Harris said district staff walk through schools with building engineers to identify any maintenance issues every year. They then make a checklist and put out work orders for repairs. Several photos in the lead risk assessment reports for Golda Meir Lower Campus and Kagel Elementary School show peeling and chipping paint throughout the building. Milwaukee Alder Peter Burgelis asked Harris if those rooms and areas were “forgotten, skipped, overlooked,” by district staff. “I don’t have that information right in front of me,” Harris said during the meeting. “So I would have to follow up with that.” Harris said the district used to have 15 to 20 painters. They now have five. After the meeting, Harris spoke to reporters. “We are doing everything that we need to do right now to address this issue, to ensure the safety and wellbeing of staff and students,” Harris said. “I would say that work has been done,” he added. “The amount of work, or — has it all been done? No. But work has been done in our schools to remediate this issue.” The district has said they’ve “certified lead paint renovator painters” who are working within Golda Meir Lower Campus and Kagel Elementary School. Lead risk reports stressing Milwaukee Health Department Weber said staff with the Milwaukee Health Department are working overtime to complete the lead risk assessments for the schools. It takes six to eight lead risk assessors around six hours to complete the job. Each lead risk assessment costs around $10,000, according to the health department. “There’s not enough weeks in the year for our lab to handle the schools that we would need to look at, and that is even putting aside our standard caseload of 100, 200 cases that we have to work with per year,” Weber said. Evers’ 2025-27 executive budget is proposing more than $6 million to support “lead poisoning intervention and response,” according to a statement from the governor’s office. That money would go to local health departments.
