| | | | Commissioner Totoraitis presented on respiratory season data (highlighting flu trends), federal updates (including effects of the uncertain federal grant situation, such as a pause on grant hiring at MHD and the resulting temporary restraining order halting the federal grant freeze), and the investigation of lead at Milwaukee Public Schools. On the latter subject, Commissioner Totoraitis shared the timeline for creating reports, that risk assessments for two more schools were upcoming, and that MHD was working with clinical partners to stand up mobile screenings for students of the impacted schools.
Board Member Ericka Sinclair asked about how information on the federal funding situation is being communicated to staff. Commissioner Totoraitis shared the process for evaluating information for credibility in order to share with staff.
Board Member Penelope Stewart asked about the timeline for frozen grant funds. Commissioner Totoraitis spoke to multiple possibilities, such as immediate grant recessions or end of fiscal year terminations.
