Students who attend a Southeast D.C. elementary school will go to class at another public school after rodents and bed bugs were discovered at their school.
Starting Wednesday, students from Savoy Elementary School will attend school at the Ferebee Hope Elementary School campus at 3999 8th St. SE.
DCPS will provide transportation to and from the new location. Buses will leave Savoy Elementary at 7:50 a.m. Students will be dropped back off at the school at 3:15 p.m., 4:15 p.m. and 6 p.m. All afternoon drop-offs will be located on Talbert Street SE, in front of the elementary school's parking lot.
Workers spent the beginning of the week thoroughly cleaning Savoy Elementary School and replacing all soft materials, including rugs, cots, blankets and pillows.
The school, which is located at 2400 Shannon Place, Southeast, will have to pass a safety and health inspection after the cleaning, according to a letter sent to parents last week.
