WASHINGTON (DC News Now) — A Northeast D.C. elementary school is dealing with an unusual pest problem after raccoons were discovered inside the building, which is prompting concerns from parents, neighbors and staff.
Officials at Noyes Elementary School said pest abatement efforts are underway. The principal told parents in a letter that the suspected entry point had been identified and that one impacted classroom was relocated to an alternate learning space while instruction continued.
Teachers told DC News Now they could hear raccoons scratching in ceiling tiles and running back and forth above classrooms while students were trying to learn.
