Students and teachers at Highland High School this week had some extra critters joining them in their classrooms. Hundreds of bats were discovered when students returned after the summer break.
Now the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources is working to safely get the bats out of the Salt Lake City school, located at 2166 S. 1700 East.
Pladas said these types of migratory bats love spaces that mimic caves and cliffs, so an empty school in the summer is the perfect place. It took an outside company working with the DWR one evening to remove all the bats. They also set up devices so any bats left behind will be able to get out of the air ducts, but they won't be able to get back inside.
The Salt Lake County Health Department is also monitoring two people who work at the school after they came into close contact with the bats.
