Video shows rat dropping from ceiling of Union City high school

The Brief

  • New Haven School District Superintendent Dr. John Thompson said this sighting took place the week of April 14, but the actual report didn’t make its way to his office until Friday.
  • He said the classroom in question is next to an area under renovation, on a campus of roughly 3,100 students.

Union City, CA A recent class instruction period at James Logan High School in Union City turned into a lesson on ducking and dodging after a rodent dropped from the ceiling.

A parent sent cell phone video of the incident to KTVU, showing the small critter walking on the ceiling, then losing its grip and falling to the floor below. It narrowly missed a handful of students and staffers.

“I’ve had a child here at this school for the last seven years,” said parent Mike Maine, as he waited in his car to pick up his daughter, a junior, from school. “That’s the first negative thing I’ve seen about this school in the seven years that we’re at. We’ve had some fighting and some bullying, but to see that, it’s like wow.”
