Update from the Superintendent of Schools – updated 11/21 The Le Roy Central School District has been investigating neurological symptoms associated with a small number of students. The safety and well being of all students and school staff is our top priority. The Le Roy Central School District has worked closely with medical professionals from Workfit Medical, the Genesee County Health Department and the New York State Health Department to investigate potential causes of the students’ illness. The investigation has not revealed evidence of infectious or environmental causes as the origin of the students’ neurological tics. No other students or staff has reported similar symptoms. The investigation included comprehensive reviews of the students’ medical records, individual medical evaluations and testing and interviews. Federal confidentiality law (HIPAA and FERPA) prohibits sharing individual medical histories or records. This message has been sent to all families in the district either through the mail or will be carried home on 11/22. To respect the privacy of the students and their families, the District will not provide any further comment on this issue. Kim M. Cox Superintendent of Schools Le Roy Central School District]]>

Chaos as Pentagon suddenly locked down by hazmat teams in gas masks
Pentagon police are in gas masks and full chemical gear Thursday as a hazmat team locks down floors 2 through 5 of the massive complex.
Floors 2 through 5 in corridors 4 through 7 have been locked down, and other floors have been evacuated, three sources told CNN. The Pentagon Force Protection Agency's hazardous materials response team is on scene alongside the Arlington County Fire Department.
"The Department is executing standard protection protocols, including a shelter-in-place order for the affected area," Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said. Systems within the Pentagon, he added, "have detected an air quality issue necessitating precautionary measures until we determine its significance."
An internal security message obtained by CNN offered a rare glimpse inside the response — and a curious instruction to rattled occupants.
"This additional testing could take one to two hours. Response teams are in place and ready to support building occupants if necessary. You may observe response personnel from multiple agencies and precautionary measures taking place in the center courtyard. Please do not interpret these activities," the message read.
Retired Col. Cedric Leighton, a former Pentagon official, flagged a particular danger for some workers on CNN.
"There are certain facilities within the Pentagon that are windowless facilities, so the only air supply that they're going to get is from the air handling system that is in the Pentagon," Leighton warned.
Arlington Fire & EMS confirmed on X that its hazardous materials team is operating at the Pentagon "during a hazardous materials incident," posting 18 minutes before the Pentagon's public acknowledgment.
Tens of thousands of people work inside the building. The full scope of how many have been locked down or evacuated remains unclear.
This is a developing story.
