A bed bug was found in a Malden High School classroom Thursday morning, according to an announcement from the school.
The classroom was closed and the city’s pest control vendor was called in to check the room for any infestation, according to the announcement, which was sent to the high school community Thursday.
“The more likely case is that the bug was transported to school in someone’s personal clothing or belongings,” the announcement reads.
