GRAPHIC=Rats in School New information has become
available regarding the massive rat
problem at Fairview Elementary.
A little over a week ago, the
school system announced it was closing
Fairview until further notice because
the school is infested with rodents.
It now looks like the problem
dates back to 1999.
ENG#=2 VO-NAT

*CG locator Roanoke
Documents obtained through the
Freedom of Information act show
exterminators were called to the school
on several occasions in the last few
years.
The school system fired the
exterminator last week.
They claim National
Exterminators, out of Martinsville, was
aware of the rodent infestation at
Fairview.
National Exterminators disputes
those claims.
The company indicates it will
defend itself legally if need be.
For now students will spend at
least a month in trailers at Preston
Park Elementary.

Around nine thirty Tuesday night,
an employee at the school called the

several areas of the school.
When police got there, they saw
two juveniles running away.
Those two were caught later and
