Parents in Plymouth, Massachusetts, are concerned after learning about reports of rats at South Elementary School.

She said another teacher indicated rats have been spotted at school for weeks.

Karen Keane, director of the Plymouth Health Department, told NBC10 Boston that it received 16 reports about rats in the school over the weekend."I know some of you heard that we have a small rodent issue here at South Elementary," he said in the message."The district contracts with a pest control company that monitors all of our schools and has been dealing with it. But we've opted to hire a company that specializes in this area.

"Why today, after what you've just said, is school still in session?" Duquette asked."Why are there kids over there right now? If they don't know how many rats, why are kids at school? So upsetting." In an email to a parent, Harold said there are traps set around the perimeter of the school. Keane said filters in the HVAC system have been changed. They ensured no pesticides would be used and that the company would be on site daily to monitor the problem before students arrive.
