A statement from the DeKalb County School District called the report's findings "unacceptable" and said the Office of School Nutrition and the Operations Department will conduct a thorough review of procedures and retrain appropriate staff.

There have not been any reports of illness or health issues with students in that school, DeKalb County School District's communication director, Quinn Hudson, told the AJC.

Cleaning services and pest control will be at the school on Thursday, Hudson said.
