Bats infest Ragland school

A portion of the Ragland High School campus has been closed because of bats. School officials say the bats were located in the high school gymnasium, weight room and the band hall. School officials say the bats have historically been a problem at the school for several years but now the population has grown. St. Clair Schools Superintendent Jenny Seals and the board of education are aware of the situation and are getting a company to come in hopefully Friday to remove all the bats. Students ae being kept out of the portion of the building affected. School officials say Critter Control out of Birmingham will be at the school today and they are bringing a team to remove the bats.
