Jefferson County schools react to report showing high lead levels

Nearly half of New York schools have lead in their drinking water, according to a new report — and Jefferson County has it worse than almost anywhere else in the state. The report, "Get the Lead Out New York," was released last week by Environment America Research & Policy Center and the New York Public Interest Research Group. It found at least 12,000 water outlets in schools statewide have potentially exposed students and staff to lead.

10 Reasons Students Choose to Go to College in Upstate New York

The first college I ever attended was Sullivan County Community College. It was not really far upstate, about a three-hour drive from Long Island, but it was far enough to offer a very different experience from suburban life. It was almost like I had moved to another state. The isolation you experience in a small town like Loch Sheldrake, away from city and suburban attractions and distractions, created a real sense of community among the students I met and befriended. It would prove to be one of the most enjoyable times of my life. Years later, I watched my son go to college upstate in Plattsburgh, and I saw him experience much of the same thing. So while many of the reasons below offer logical explanations for why students choose to attend college in Upstate New York, the experience you hopefully find through the people you meet and the opportunities you engage in may ultimately outweigh every other reason on this list.
