Classes to resume Wednesday at Refugio Elementary School after dealing with bat problem

The school was shut down temporarily as exterminators got in and cleared the intruders.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — An elementary school in Refugio, Texas, will be open for classes again Wednesday after closing their doors temporarily to deal with a bat problem.

The problem began last week at Refugio Elementary School when administrators said some unpleasant odors began wafting around campus. They believed bats had found their way into the school through holes left in the building from Hurricane Harvey.

The school was shut down temporarily as exterminators got in and cleared the intruders.

On Tuesday, the Refugio Independent School District posted a notice on Facebook saying the campus would be open and ready to resume classes Wednesday morning.
