Teachers and Students have informed us of a mouse infestation at Governor Livingston.

We reached out to the District with the following questions:

(1) What is the severity of the issue

(2) What is the cause of the issue

(3) What steps have been taken to remedy the situation

(4) What steps are being taken to ensure the health and well-being of staff and students?

AJ was quick to respond with the following information:

I spoke to Mr. Nixon, the principal at GL, and his response is below:

Due to GL’s location at the top of the Watchung Reservation, we see some unwanted visitors when it is cold or when there is snow. Here is what has been done:

– Several sightings of mice in the school building were reported in late February. This included evidence and actual sightings.

– GL Administration connected with building custodians as well as district B&G.

– GL Administration worked with leaders of the BHEA encouraging staff members to share locations and sightings with administration.

– On 2/27, an email was shared with GL staff letting them know that the issue was being addressed and sharing suggestions to prevent mice from being attracted to their rooms.

– The District contracted Alliance to help remedy the issue.

– To date, the plan has proven to be effective. It has been almost two weeks since the last report.
