We are asking Cajon High School in San Bernardino, California, to remove the rats on campus now and make sure they do not come back. Students should be able to learn in a clean, safe school, and right now that is not the case.
For six months, rats have been present at the school. That is long enough for a small problem to grow into a much bigger one. They are no longer just passing through; they are staying, and now they are starting to have babies. When rats are left alone in a school, the problem only spreads. It becomes harder to control, harder to clean up, and more upsetting for everyone who has to be there every day.
This is not something students should have to accept.
A school should be a place where people can focus on classes, not worry about rats moving around the campus. Rodents can contaminate food, damage buildings, and make a school feel unsafe and neglected. When a problem like this is ignored, it affects the whole community and sends the wrong message about basic care and cleanliness. There are over thirty five diseases that rats can carry, and they can be passed by indirect contact. If a rat chews on a wire, the school can go up in flames.
We are calling on Cajon High School to act quickly, take the problem seriously, and remove the rats from the campus. We also ask for strong follow-up steps so the school stays clean and safe after the rats are gone. The students, staff, and families connected to Cajon High deserve a school environment that is healthy, respectful, and properly maintained.
Following violations are being broken:
- Williams Settlement Legislation
- Occupational Safety and Health (OSHA)
- Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
- Health Hazard
- Healthy Schools Act
- Local Health Enforcement
By signing this petition, you agree that Cajon should shut down the school, and transfer to online school white the rat infestation is being fixed.

Rat Poop

I found rat poop in the B wing, there is pictures and evidence. Please help us, and take pictures of any evidence of rats, and send it to the Instagram account "cajonrats" thank you for your cooperation.

I'm 85% sure that I am sick and half of the blame goes to the rats
Flyers

Maybe people have asked if it's okay for them to make flyers, and to that I say yes. All help is appreciated, and needed. I greatly appreciate everything that you guys have done for this, and if it brings more awareness, my answer is yes. Thank you for your time.

Staff members seem to be removing the posters spreading awareness about the rats, I find this odd. I have a right to freedom of speech, and I am using this freedom of speech to try and protect others. It seems to be that the school wants to hide the fact that there are rats, and this is only unsanitary, unsafe, and concerning. Rats don't belong at school, especially for six months. Please if anyone can, help me on this journey on keeping students and staff members safe, even if it's just a simple signature, it will truly help us in the long run. Thank you so much, please stay safe.

Thank you all for the support! I really do appreciate it, if we can reach 1,500 the school will practically be forced to close. Lets make that goal happen! Thank you all again.

I'm going to print out flyer, and I will put it around the school, I am also thinking about emailing the link to students and teachers. I'm not scared of getting in trouble, I'm scared about others and my health.

This is unsafe and unhealthy for the kids attending as well as the employees. All parties should be able to come to school in a clean and healthy environment. The school should be shut down until the Rats are all clear and everything has been investigated thoroughly and thoroughly in-fumigated. All teachers and students should be excused until further notice with either virtual online classes or work packets sent home and teachers should still be sent home with pay until further notice.
I want to learn in a cleaner and safer environment. Most students shouldn't learn in a building with potential diseases that threaten us.
I find it funny how when a restaurant had rats they get shut down but when I school had rats all they put is rat traps. I seen one in the kitchen and even though they don't cook the food, the open pizza boxes form lunch today attracts rats. Don't hit the rats though with rat traps and glue traps, call someone who can take the rats without hurting them and bring them somewhere else. I seen a rat last year in a glue trap as it tried to pull away, that's a painful way to die, starving
Cause rats can get many students sick, I seen many rats in the cafeteria where the food is
Rats no good
I don’t feel safe at school with all these rats
Quit allowing the students to eat lunch in the hallways, classrooms, library, and offices. Food should only be allowed in the cafeteria and quad. This is disgusting.
