Congressman Sam Graves has reached out to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. seeking assistance in investigating a troubling number of cancer cases at Warren Hills Elementary School in Liberty, Missouri. In his communication, Graves highlighted that over the past decade, more than six staff members at the school have been diagnosed with cancer.

"The families, teachers, and staff members at Warren Hills Elementary school have seen more than a half dozen staff members diagnosed with cancer in just over a decade," Graves stated. He acknowledged the concerns of parents about the safety of sending their children to the school and emphasized the need for a thorough investigation. "Many parents have deep and growing concerns about the safety of continuing to send their children to school there—and I can’t blame them. There hasn’t been a thorough, independent, and comprehensive study into what’s going on, so that’s exactly what I’m asking Secretary Kennedy to help with."

Graves' request underscores the community's demand for clarity and action regarding this health issue.
