Hi Kristi: ve talked with our epis and we cannot provice the aggregate by year starting with q2 annually due to the DNS calls then being compromised and privacy concerns with identifiable information. if you would still like to pursue the IRB route, please let us know and Bob and assist you through that process.

Of course, this is a deaciline related request, hopefully the list of 13 schouls is something that is quickly available. Thanks! Kristi Detroit Free Press {313} 222-8877

lam interested in the name/title and contact information for all of the Taskforce members. | am interested in the meeting schedule for the group and what the next steps are in general. it was mentioned on the call that the state has a tearn of toxicologists that will be doing scme prediction modeling in Flint. [am interested in when/where tests are occurring and what the sampling frame looks like. So maybe a call would be a good first start. Thanks! Kristi

For the task force contact — the contact would depend on the question. Can you tell me what you're looking for so i can be sure to get you in touch with the right person? And for our toxicologist, are you looking to set up a call?

Yes, tarn looking for the quarterly numbers behind the percentages on the chart Jennifer shared. | was told i need to signa release — does this come from you Jen? To get the quarterly counts, in the meantime if you can aggregate the counts annually beginning with q2 that will help. Summary numbers are fine for the second request, just looking to see what the investigation and remediation/clearance participation rates look like for thase children identified with lead poisoning for communities receiving funding. if that makes sense, if it doesn’t maybe we need to chat over the phone. Thanks Kristi P.S. Jen can you forward me the contact info for the lead on toxicology team and special task force for Flint?
