Augusta Independent School Principal Robin Kelsch had enough to worry about with the flu. Kelsch didn’t need a student’s report of bedbugs at the school to make things worse.
But, that’s what he got.
Kelsch told The Ledger Independent that the report turned out to be a hoax, but school office phones were ringing with concerned parents on the other end (http://bit.ly/y6sYQw).
Kelsch said the rumor started when a student brought in a water bug and squashed it, then told her friends it was a bedbug “just to scare them.’’
