Live cockroaches found in Kingman elementary school kitchen Recently, Mohave County health inspectors found live cockroaches in the kitchen of an elementary school in Kingman, raising concerns among parents about the safety of food for school children. According to local media reports in Kingman, La Senita Elementary School was found with live cockroaches during a health inspection on the 10th and received a "needs improvement" review. Elementary schools are being asked to deep clean their kitchens, including thoroughly disinfecting walls, trays and cash registers. When the news came out, parents shouted in disbelief and were deeply worried about the health of their children. Fortunately, there were no reports of schoolchildren becoming unwell before and after the health bureau ordered the overhaul. The school kitchen also passed a follow-up inspection last Friday.
