Going Batty
I was walking down the kindergarten hall at school and noticed this brown thing on the wall. A closer look revealed that it was a little bat. It was about golf ball size but oval shaped, scrunched into a crack in the wall. Nice furry brown body, with black leathery wings. Since he was at child height and (always) potentially rabid, We captured him and called animal control.

Ewwww!
Glad that you found it and not one of the kids. The only one I've found is that skeleton on my front porch.
Bats are good--but I can see why having them at kindergartner height would be a problem.
I guess being a school, you were probably obligated to call animal control. I probably would have just relocated it.
I worry when they are down at kid level like that in the middle of the day. Later, I thought of a reason it might have been down there. They are doing two things at school that might have disturbed it's habitat, if it actually lives at the school. Re-roofing the school and painting the outside of the school. So it might have been perfectly innocent, but with 750 kids around, we couldn't risk it.
