While officials say there isn't a "serious problem with cockroaches" officials did confirm "a few" cockroaches were found in classrooms.

"Administration is aware that a few cockroaches have been sighted in some classrooms and we have been taking steps to address the issues. We continue to monitor any sightings and address them as they come up," the school stated in a letter to a community.

A pest control specialist told school officials it's not "a widespread issue" or an "infestation." The school continues to take measures to address the issue.
