AI Summary
This resolution, known as the "No Lead in My Water Act," urges the Georgia Department of Education to assist school districts in identifying and addressing lead contamination in their water systems. Specifically, it calls for the department to provide information to encourage schools to test their pipes and fixtures for lead, to help them access federal funding, such as the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Voluntary School and Child Care Lead Testing and Reduction Grant Program, which offers free testing and covers repair costs, and to support schools in fixing any lead problems discovered. The resolution highlights that lead exposure poses serious health risks, particularly to children, and emphasizes that utilizing these federal resources is a crucial opportunity to protect student health and academic performance.
