Bed bugs found in Holley Elementary School Wednesday; district taking action – 13WHAM-TV

Holley, N.Y. The presence of bed bugs has been found in a classroom at Holley Elementary School, the district superintendent told 13WHAM Wednesday night.

Last month, the school district brought in exterminators after two classrooms were found to have bed bugs. Earlier this week, the district said the bed bugs had been eradicated.

According to District Superintendent Robert DAngelo, bed bugs were found in one of the original classrooms where the pests were reported, and that, after the professional treatment, there had been no signs of bugs until Wednesday afternoon.

D'Angelo described the treatment as having a type of "shelf life," and that another treatment is scheduled for this week.

The superintendent added that the student who reportedly transported the bugs has been identified. He said the district and the county are working together to provide assistance for the students family.

We continue to remain vigilant in looking for these bugs and will be very aggressive in our handling of this if/when we do, Superintendent DAngelo told 13WHAM News. We will also be very open and transparent with our parents in keeping them well informed in the event that we find this bug or any other matter related to their child.
