School district officials are not releasing which schools are being tested, but on the Yonkers website, there is a post about testing the district's water that says once the testing is complete at each school, a report will be provided to the principal, said lohud.com.

The district told lohud.com, that once testing is completed, a letter will be sent to parents with the results. The Yonkers event comes a week after New Rochelle schools found lead in the water at one of its elementary schools, added lohud.com.
