An area school district administrator has given an update on an ongoing concern relating to bedbugs.
According to a release from Marshall Public Schools’ Superintendent Dr. Carol Maher, Marshall High School was inspected and treated for bedbugs on Sunday, February 23.
“No bugs were found, but areas that have been identified as suspicious were treated additionally. To be clear, the teacher who found and reported the bug was not in their assigned room at the time of the sighting. For their well-being, there are to be no students in the following areas until Tuesday morning: areas in front of Mr. Verts’ office and Mrs. Heinzler’s desk; coaches office on boys’ side; and the weight room.”
The release continues: “Marshall Public Schools will be updating all information as soon as it becomes available. There will also be additional guidance and support for identifying types of bugs, prevention and treatment of clothing, school items and living areas if necessary.
“If you see or suspect a bedbug on any of your child(ren)’s belongings, please contact the office of the building where your child attends school.”
