NYS: No outdoor recess during hunting season

No outdoor recess during hunting season: On a November morning in 1995, a hunter's stray shotgun slug crashed through a classroom window in Rush and sprayed glass onto the 40 first- and second-graders inside. No one was arrested in the incident and no one was seriously hurt, but, 13 years later, Leary Elementary School in the Rush-Henrietta district still does not allow students outdoors for recess during deer hunting season.
