Oh my goodness! We have tent caterpillars that come in mass like your image of the oak processionary caterpillar but they don't have any stinging hairs. -They are just really destructive to the vegetation and they make such a mess when they come in droves and can defoliate the trees! We had them for a couple of years but this year with the long extended period of extreme cold and the late spring there are only a few this year - thank-goodness!
That would be very concerning to have it close to a school yard! Has it been reported to the municipality?
Hope you see a decline soon and everyone keeps safe!
