Which middle school is this?

Westland

How did the principal report this? Letter, email?

Heavily moderated listserv. Negative comments never make it.

This is where you should begin your advocacy. If you cannot post to the listserv, MCPS will tell you that you are the only one who complained......

I disagree. This was something which only 6th graders do so why would you complain when no one else from your school is going again this year.
Complain to the principal, Superintendant, skycroft, but just because it is not on the listerve doesn't mean parents aren't upset.

I have not heard a single complaint. Not a single parent posted to the listeserv that they had contacted the principal, Sup, skycroft etc.

Are you kidding? You think other parents are fine with bed bugs? A listserv is not the first place I would complain. I would be making a personal phone call.

How do you know they treat the place regularly?

It is not normal to have bed bug bites years apart. They clearly aren't taking it seriously enough. It may be fun, however shuttling hundreds of kids through when it's infested with bed bugs is irresponsible.

My son went to Skycroft a few years ago and it was amazing! He wants to go back. The food is excellent.

Did you try to raise this issue on the school listserv? Nobody even replied to the message posted by the principal. All of us assumed that parents did not care or were fine with it. This is the first time I hear a parent complaining.
