Schools often combat budget and educational issues, but one school in the North Bay is dealing with a late-night invasion from wildlife.
The school year hasn't started yet at Geyserville New Tech Academy, but a family of six boars is feasting on the school's landscape, wreaking havoc on the grounds.It's nothing new, but it has been more destructive."The last two years have definitely been the worst. This year is worse than last by far, I believe it's hotter, and dryer. These are some of the hottest years on record. And longer periods of dry hot weather," said shop and agriculture teacher Kai Klaassen.
"A lot of our neighbors who have grapes are experiencing the same thing, so we try to work in conjunction with them to find trappers to try to relocate the wild pigs," said Geyserville Schools Superintendent Deborah Berolucci.In recent years, the school paid $50,000 to fence in the soccer, baseball, and softball fields which the pigs cannot get to anymore."I'm not sure where I would find the funding.
