Boston Public School officials faced a crowd of parents asking questions about the safety of school water earlier tonight. It comes after several schools found dangerous levels of lead in the water supply.
Parents were pleased to see district officials and other experts answering their questions, but there was still a lot of anger and concern.
"Had I found this info out in December I would not have worried quite so much," parent Anna Ross said.
Tonight Boston Schools' superintendent Tommy Chang answered concerns, along with water experts, and tried calming fears.
Chang said,"They have concerns, because there's a lack of trust with the way we're communicating. But what we heard very clearly is the water in our schools is safe."
Two school officials were put on leave as part of the investigation. But parents say it's just one step towards safety.
Ross said, "My husband thinks we should be sending our kids to school with their own water for the rest of the time at BBS."
