EXCLUSIVE: Students at #EastPalestineOH middle school revealed school is allowing kids to drink from water fountain after train explosion (parents granted permission for interview).

"We've all been having runny nose & headaches...when we go out of town we feel better" -Kylie
Despite Gov. Dewine & EPA claiming water in #EastPalestineOH is safe, many water experts warn it is too soon to declare water safe. Bob Bowcock, a water treatment engineer with 30 years of experience, told SC schools should be taking extra precautions...
The middle school students--McKenzie, Ronnie, and Kylie—told @louisd217 they and their siblings have runny noses, rashes, headaches, burning eyes, and burns on their leg when they shower. "When we go out of town...we feel better. When we come into town, our eyes start burning."
@louisd217 The school superintendent told Status Coup that since COVID, students have not been allowed to put their mouth on the water fountain and drink from it—but they are able to pour water into water bottles. He confirmed this was still the case. FULL INTERVIEW:
