Wild raccoons have invaded a South Florida school named Woodlands Middle, putting parents in a panic.

Students contacted by CBS12.com say the raccoons have been running wild in the Lake Worth school for weeks.

One raccoon urinated on a child. "You're sitting at your desk, doing your class work and all of a sudden there's liquid running from the ceiling," a mother told WPEC in Palm Beach County .

Tim O’Connor of the Palm Beach County Health department acknowledges the problem. Now the school has 30 days to rid of the raccoons, according to reports. The school district says it will seal up buildings and hire a trapper.
