"Unfortunately, we were unable to identify another option that maintains the safety of our students and staff. We will reschedule the dance as soon as possible." Corky Quirk, a researcher and educator with rescue group Northern California Bats, said the school's unwanted residents are likely Mexican free-tailed bats. "These guys tend to be the culprits in the buildings," Quirk told KOVR-TV.
