Rotting animal drives students from classroom in Glendale

Students at a Glendale elementary school were expected to return to their classrooms Wednesday after being displaced by chemical fumes released during the cleanup of a decomposing animal.

Two teachers at Dunsmore Elementary who became ill remained on medical leave, while Principal Karen Stegman and a maintenance worker were examined Friday and cleared to continue working, officials told the Glendale News-Press.

No students were injured, officials said.

It began Sept. 20 when school staffers noticed a peculiar odor and asked maintenance workers to investigate.

“To me, it smelled like an old diaper that had been sitting in a trash can for a couple of days,” Stegman said.
