Idaho teacher who raised concerns about rodent contamination says district is retaliating against her

SOUTHEAST BOISE (KIVI) — Boise School District teacher Michelle Chung says her months-long dispute with the Boise School District has escalated far beyond the rodent contamination she first raised last year — and now involves multiple legal claims and mediation with the district.

Chung came forward to Idaho News 6 in June of 2025, alleging widespread rodent contamination inside her family and consumer science classroom at West Junior High and raising concerns about student health. She claimed she repeatedly asked the district to address the problem and was told the issue had been fixed, only to continue finding what she described as fresh droppings in the classroom.
