Sharing Bed Bug Information To Calm The Masses

When you have a student or students within a school system, it stands to reason that a parents want to be informed about what is happening, not only with their particular student, but also what is happening within the confines of the walls of the school.  When news is bad within a school, inevitably bits and pieces of information will begin to filter out among parents and/or students.  It will not take long for a snow-ball affect to occur and in some cases; panic ensues, depending on the issue at hand.

The New Jersey Herald reported on October 23, 2012 that some Sussex-Wantage parents are frustrated by the lack of information being provided by the schools regarding the bed bugs that have been found within some schools.  In particular, many parents are disappointed with the lack of information that has been given to parents about bed bugs that have been popping up.  Reports are that one letter was sent home to parents at the beginning of the school year, but no further communication has been utilized.  The school system claims that they are following state mandated protocol, which has been confirmed by the Health Department.

School officials should realize by now that a failure to communicate with families about bed bugs, their habits, and other important information, will only cause emotional anxiety for their school family as a whole.  Families that are educated about bed bugs are more likely to catch an infestation in the early stages and have a better chance of avoiding picking up the pests in their day-to-day life.
