Bed bug complaints infest school board

Concerned residents confronted the Duplin County Board of Education at the Nov. 5 meeting about bed bugs being found recently at Kenansville Elementary School. Three individuals signed up for public comment to address the board on the topic. Marissa Phipps had several items to address. She started off by stating that she was both nervous and angry as she began addressing the board with her concerns. “This is a big immediate concern. We cannot keep asking our children and staff to report to work to risk bringing it home to our environment and spreading it worse,” she said. “Why not let us go remote, do it for a week, and come back to a clean environment? Yes, we cannot stop it from happening again, but we can stop it from spreading.” She also brought up bullying in schools, stating that it was a major issue. “If you look at the suicide rates in Duplin County, it’s the highest because bullying has not been handled,” she asserted. “Instead it’s being brushed to the side — saying to a child that’s not nice or handing out a stay away agreement. When a child is stuck in a classroom with 30 other kids
