A single bedbug spotting at an Elyria elementary school has school officials developing a policy for dealing with the pesky creatures.
Roughly two weeks ago, a bedbug was discovered on one student at McKinley Elementary.
Amy Higgins, district spokeswoman, said the child was not sent home from school, but school officials did react swiftly and appropriately to prevent even the smallest chance of affecting other students or rooms in the building.

The student's belongings were discreetly checked for additional bugs and bagged. School officials implemented a procedure where each day they would bag all personal belongings of all students in the one classroom as well, Higgins said. That lasted until Friday and so far no other bugs have been found in the classroom or building.
In addition, Dawn McCready, director of pupil services, said health officials were contacted and the school was told to handle the incident in the same fashion they would a student with lice.
McCready said the school went several steps further. The school nurse trained the school custodian on how to identify bedbugs and the classroom was given priority cleaning every night.
"The message out there is that the school has a bedbug problem, but definitely we do not," McCready said. "We have talked to several experts who actually told us we are overreacting and we need to calm down because it was just one student. Still, we wanted to be proactive."
The over vigilance may be due in part to the heavy presence of bedbugs in the country especially in hospitals, dormitories, movie theaters and housing complexes. Although the bugs themselves carry no health risks, they will bite and feed on human blood at night while people are asleep in their beds.
"We are working hard to make sure we educate people properly," McCready said. "There is nothing to fear and no reason to keep kids home from school. These are just bugs.Never retail for lessthan $250 Moreover if the replicalvhandbag claimsthewatch is Tag Aquaracer 20082 on saleor . Still, we have to be cautious."
