BRACKEN COUNTY, Ky.— Bedbugs found on a middle school student have led to the closing of several schools along the Kentucky-Ohio border.
All of the schools in Bracken County, Kentucky, had to be closed Friday due to an investigation of bedbugs.
School officials halted classes in the entire district as a precaution after bedbugs were found on one middle school student.
The local health department will make sure the student gets treatment and supervise efforts to insure the bedbug problem does not spread by spraying schools and school buses.
