Field Mice Found in School

East Cobb, GA -- Officials at an East Cobb charter school are working to tackle an infestation of field mice that has affected certain parts of the building.

Mice have been reported at Sedalia Park Charter Elementary School since early fall, when the school brought in corn stalks and hay as part of seasonal decorations, the Marietta Daily Journal reports.

Maintenance crews took preventative measures to keep the mice at bay, but they have been spotted again after the Thanksgiving holiday, according to the MDJ.

The MDJ reports that a school district cleaning crew will complete a thorough sweep of the affected areas over the long holiday break in hopes of ridding the school of the mice once and for all.
