Five-fingered intruders also have been seen walking the hallways of McCallum High School in Austin.
“It was scared, it was running around and everything,” journalism student Morgan Eye told the station of the raccoon that fell from overhead and landed near a student. “What if it bit her? What if it had rabies?”“There are articles you can find from the ’90s, from the early 2000s — and even the 2010s — talking about this,” said Noah Braun, a sophomore, whoBraun said a dead raccoon was recently discovered in the school’s walls.Student Max Davis shared videos and pictures of the raccoons.
“There was a raccoon that ran out of a bathroom and when it saw people it ran the other way,” Davis said.“We understand that having raccoons on school grounds can be worrying for parents, and we take this matter seriously,” the district said. School district employees and contractors were setting “humane traps” and performing “exclusion work,” the district added.“The team will safely remove the raccoons from the school grounds and will continue to monitor the situation to ensure that the problem is fully resolved,” the school district promised.
Though active at night, raccoons that surface during the daytime aren’t necessarily dangerous unless they exhibit alarming behavior, such as bodily discharge or self-mutilation, according to thea carrier of the rabies virus, which makes them a “rabies vector species” worthy of caution, the society adds.
