Rats! Tamarac Elementary School Dealing With Infestation

TAMARAC (CBS4) - Classrooms at Tamarac Elementary School are being taken over by pesky little critters.

Eight kindergarten classes have been relocated to other parts of the school due to a rat infestation, according to the South Florida Sun Sentinel.

District spokeswoman Marsy Smith believes the problem started at a construction site near a canal next to the school.

Fortunately, students began two-week winter break Friday so the school will be empty while officials determine how to eradicate the fuzzy intruders.

School employees have laid traps until all classrooms can be thoroughly fumigated.
