The Seminario branch of Istituto Comprensivo 2 "Panzini" in Piazza Giovanni XXIII, Castellammare di Stabia, will close from Saturday 14 November through Monday 16 November 2026 after a rodent was sighted in a classroom.
The classroom is used by nursery-school children aged three to five. The temporary closure was ordered by the Commissione Straordinaria as a precautionary hygienic-sanitary measure.
During the closure, classroom activity is suspended and access to the building is prohibited except for authorised remediation and inspection personnel. The school canteen service is also suspended because meals are consumed inside the classrooms.
Municipal technicians called for extraordinary deratisation followed by complete sanitation of the premises. Technical offices were instructed to identify and eliminate possible rodent entry points.
Reopening is scheduled for Tuesday 17 November, subject to a final technical report confirming that the building is hygienically and sanitarily suitable.
The incident follows a comparable rodent emergency in October at the San Marco branch of another Castellammare school, where deratisation, deep sanitation and technical monitoring led to reopening, with periodic external checks planned.
