And I think the superintendent should resign. That being said, though, informed medical opinion is that while the lead exposure was elevated, it wasn't in a range that will have any deleterious effects on students. Get a new superintendent of schools, fix the problem, and tell the taxpaying public that part of the problem here is the chronic underfunding of schools going back several decades in Oregon.
