Tests Find Elevated Lead Levels In Boise School District Water

PAUL SANCYA / AP
Bottled water on a cooler is shown in the hallway at Gardner Elementary School in Detroit earlier this year after tests revealed elevated levels of lead in the drinking water.

Elevated levels of lead found in a Boise school in October led to further testing throughout the district. Nearly one in six samples tested positive for unacceptable lead levels in 26 area schools. We'll look at lead levels in school drinking water on Monday's Idaho Matters.
