Word spread on social media over the past few days, and viewers have questioned the matter.
So, News 5 looked further into the issue.
Indeed, that teacher’s action did not align with the Mobile County Public School System’s procedures, News 5 has learned.
“Official protocol is that if someone at a school sees a rodent, they should contact the custodian or on-site maintenance technician, who are trained in proper disposal,” MCPSS spokesperson Rena Philips said.

Philips said parents should have nothing to worry about as far as appearances from other rodents. MCPSS campuses are treated monthly by a contracted pest control company.
“An MCPSS facilities crew visited the school and will continue to work with the school to make sure the issue is under control,” Philips said.
