A reinspection of Cecil Floyd Elementary School today following a failing grade on its February 27 inspection due to mouse droppings in the food storage and preparation areas showed the situation had improved.
While mouse activity was still evident, it was less than before, the report said.
Facility has hired a licensed pest control company to treat the entire building. The company is coming weekly to treat for mice. Mouse activity has decreased significantly but still present in the food storage area and cafeteria/ stage area. All food has been contained to rubber totes and is not subject to contamination.
Principal Kris Garrett sent the following message to parents:
Cecil Floyd is committed to maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness and safety in all of our buildings.
During a recent health inspection at Cecil Floyd Elementary, inspectors identified concerns including evidence of isolated mouse activity in the kitchen area. As a result, the school received one priority violation.
A follow-up inspection determined that all food and food storage containers in the kitchen remain uncompromised. However, we take this matter seriously and have already taken immediate action to resolve the issue.
We are working closely with pest control professionals and our custodial team to thoroughly address the problem. This includes deep cleaning, sealing potential entry points, and increasing preventative measures to ensure this does not happen again.
The health and safety of our students and staff remain our highest focus. We are in ongoing communication with the health department and will continue to follow all necessary protocols to meet and exceed health and safety standards.
We will also conduct follow-up inspections to confirm that all concerns have been fully resolved.
We appreciate the support and understanding of our families as we work quietly to correct this issue.
Please reach out to me if you have any further questions.

This - Clearly Shows another - Incompetent Bureaucratic Government Agency - Ran by Incompetent People - Who we expect to be Educating Our Children, Yet has Little or No Accountability for its Poor Service to our Children.
Why in the World wouldn't Joplin School System have Standardized - Processes, Procedures, and Contracts in Place for Pest Services - Just like any Restaurant or Food Chain would have to deal with Bugs and Rodents - This should be done by a Bid Process for Pests Services for all the Schools that Prepare, Store, Sell Food - This is Not just an Isolated Situation - All Parents should be Calling - Joplin Administration and Complaining.
Who is at Fault - The School Board, the Administration, the Superintendent, the Principal - Kris Garrett - WHO IS RESPONSIBLE???
FYI - Betsy Arakawa, wife of Oscar-winning actor Gene Hackman, died from a respiratory illness linked to HANTAVIRUS, a rare disease transmitted by infected rodents, officials have confirmed. Mouse FECES - - So don't worry if your Child gets SICK or DIES - - Principal - Kris Garrett, can afford to go out and Eat Lunch or Bring his Lunch Daily...
And then they Want to Downplay this Situation, that Mouse activity was still evident, it was less than before, the report said. MY GOD - NO NOT ERADICATED - JUST LESS - So Don't Worry - the Principal - Kris Garrett, brings his Lunch so he is not Affected!!!
Schools - Continue to want - More and More Money to Run these Bureaucratic Government Agencies - Called Schools - While Providing a SUB-PAR EDUCATION - Missouri Ranks - 31st in the Nation for Education. America Ranks 13th Globally for Education -
Education spending has doubled in ten years, and most of the money went to hiring administrators and non-teachers. Yet, many of these Administrators have 3 to 5 Assistants - WHY - We have got to Start Asking Do we need all of these Administrators - Are they Necessary for our Children's Education - The Answer is NO!!!
Maybe that is why the American Populis - is trying to Defund the Department of Education - Stop the Largest Union in America the Teachers Union (which is just a Front and Donates its Members' Dues to the Democratic Party), which is why our Education System is so Bad and Never gets Better - and why Dick and Jane cannot - Read, Write, do Math, or Understand History and Science.
So if your Satisfied with the Schools - The Actions of Joplin's - School Board, Administrators, Superintendents, or Principal - Kris Garrett - Just Keep Quiet - Or if you are Concerned - Contact - All of them and let your Voice be Heard - or you can Just Stick your Head in the Sand - and Let them Continue to Run their Bureaucratic Government Agency the same as they have for Decades - I am sure we are just about ready for another Tax Increase to - Help Save our Educational System and Children - Which is Just BS... When we should be Cutting all of these Non-Essential Bureaucratic Governmental Administrative Jobs - Wasting Taxpayers Money. All Governmental Agency's - Need to become More - Lean, Efficient, and Do things in a Smarter, Simpler Method - Stop adding Bodies - because People won't do their Jobs...
