HALLOWELL Regional School Unit 2 has decided to spray the grounds at Hall-Dale Elementary to rid the fields of ticks after students have reported more-than-usual numbers after spending time outside.
Gordon Murray, RSU 2’s director of buildings and grounds, said at Thursday night’s Facilities, Nutrition and Transportation Committee meeting, students at Dresden Elementary School counted 80 ticks in one day after recesses. At Hall-Dale Elementary, he did a grounds test and found 45 ticks on the edge of the school grounds.
