Plan of Correction: 1) We have contracted with a highly reputable national extermination company that has provided a detailed and aggressive eradication plan that should take approximately 3 weeks to execute. After the initial push is complete they will implement an ongoing monitoring program to make sure that the problem does not return.
2) We are working with the landlord/building management team to address the points of entry into the building.
3) In addition to having the school cleaned every evening, we have assigned a staff member to come in early every morning to clean problem areas. We are also steam cleaning the carpets on Saturdays every week until the problem is resolved.
