East Chicago school near lead contamination site shuttered
The (Munster) Times reported Tuesday (http://bit.ly/2bd0a6o ) that Carrie Gosch Elementary students are being moved to a school across the city partially because of low enrollment possibly resulting from parents reluctant to send their children to school at a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Superfund site or uncertain about where they'll be living as they await vouchers to move.
The city has advised more than 1,000 residents they should relocate after the EPA said the ground within the housing complex had high levels of arsenic and lead.
