Rush-Henrietta students walk out over school safety
Dozens of Rush-Henrietta high school students staged a walkout Sept. 28 after a classmate was hospitalized the week before following a fight at the school . The fight triggered a 40-minute lockdown on Sept. 24 after a staff member thought they heard a gunshot. The Monroe County Sheriff's Office responded to the high school, confirmed there were no weapons involved and cleared the scene. District officials said the fight was pre-arranged and involved a student who was not permitted on campus that day. The district increased security and made counselors available for students. Shabbar Zaidi, a senior, said last week's fight wasn't the first this year ― and he believes students face few consequences for other behavioral issues like vaping in the bathroom. "We feel there's a lack of discipline from the administration, a lack of care from the administration, for the students' well-being," he said outside of the high school Monday. Zaidi said the problems affect students who aren't involved, too, especially when rumors start to fly. He had a hard time discerning what was true about last week's fight. The district, he said, has since become a target for racist online commentary. "I can't trust anything right now,"
