Good afternoon!
• Six San Francisco preschools have unsafe levels of lead in their drinking water. District staff covered some faucets with plastic bags to keep children from using them, but parents and teachers are furious about a months-long delay in reporting the results of lead testing. “We just don’t trust the district,” said Tiffany Delloue, who works at E.R. Taylor, one of the affected sites.
• Hulking concrete barriers intended to deter sex work on Capp Street were removed on Saturday and replaced with collapsible steel bollards that fire trucks could drive over in an emergency. But just days later, some of the new bollards have already been knocked down, and their padlocks removed.
• Subsidized internet access for eligible households, free Mandarin classes for kids and adults at the library, and a free concert for everyone at the Mission Cultural Center—and check out all the other stuff to do this weekend, too.
