“We appreciate her coming to school but she is not allowed back,” Broaddus ISD said. “Thank you for everyone that was involved.”

This was not the first gator spotted in East Texas recently, as a little less than a week ago a 9-foot gator was found Downton Gladewater and was safely taken back to their natural habitat.

East Texans maybe seeing more alligators recently since the species just finished their breeding season on May 30, according to Texas Parks and Wildlife website.
