Lead Information for Schools and Child Care Facilities | Department of Environmental Protection | Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Information for Schools and Child Care Facilities</h2>\r\n<p>Exposure to lead is a significant health concern, especially for young children and infants whose growing bodies tend to absorb more lead than the average adult. Drinking water is one possible source of lead exposure.
Infants whose diets consist mainly of liquid can get 40 - 60% of their lead exposure from water. Some drinking water pipes, taps, solder and other plumbing components contain lead. Lead in the plumbing may leach into water and pose a health risk when consumed.
</p>\r\n<p>Testing water in schools and child care facilities is important because children spend a significant portion of their days in these facilities, and likely consume water while there. The longer water remains in contact with leaded plumbing, the more opportunity exists for lead to leach into water.
As a result, facilities with on again/off again water use patterns, such as schools and child care facilities, may have elevated lead concentrations in the water. EPA recommends that action be taken at a specific water fixture when the lead concentration is elevated.
</p>\r\n<h2>Lead Comes From the Plumbing</h2>\r\n<p>Even though water delivered from the community's public water supply must meet EPA standards for lead, it is possible a building may have lead exceedances in drinking water due to lead and lead-containing plumbing materials and water use patterns. Conducting lead in drinking water testing at each water fixture is a way to learn more about facility drinking water plumbing.
</p>\r\n<h2>Testing for Lead at a School or Child Care Facility</h2>\r\n<p>EPA strongly encourages schools and child care facilities to test the water for lead, particularly if food, drinks, and/or formula are prepared on-site. Each water fixture should be tested for lead. </p>\r\n<p>PA DEP through a technical assistance contractor is offering lead sampling for public schools and public or private child care facilities.

While headlines chase AI and defense money, USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture runs a tight summer competitive cycle — Equipment Grants (June 25), Agricultural Genome to Phenome (June 29), New Beginning for Tribal Students (July 2), and Crop Protection and Pest Management (July 6). Here is how the four programs fit together, who is eligible, and why the land-grant system has a structural edge.

Read articleOn June 11, 2026, U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel ruled that the EPA's February 2025 termination of the $2.8 billion Environmental and Climate Justice Block Grant Program — created by Section 60201 of the Inflation Reduction Act — was arbitrary, capricious, and unlawful. The ruling voids the termination but does not order the EPA to resume the program, leaving the September 30, 2026 statutory deadline as the binding constraint. For the 116 grantees and the coalition of nonprofits, cities, and tribal partners that were already in award negotiations, the next 105 days will determine whether the program survives in any operational form or migrates entirely to the Court of Federal Claims as a damages action.
