The St. Mary Parish Superintendent says Franklin Junior High will be closed today and tomorrow (February 14-15th) due to a bat infestation.
A decision will be made over the weekend about school on Monday. Bats have plagued many other schools in Acadiana in recent weeks, including UL Monroe, Zachary High, and Gueydan High.
