Department of Health says two new Le Roy students report tic-like symptoms

The NYS Department of Health released the following statement:

DOH is aware of two Le Roy students with tic-like symptoms who are being treated by independent physicians. The environment or an infection is not the cause of the students’ tics.

No further information was provided.

The Le Roy Central School District has the following undated statement on its Web site.:

With the beginning of the new school year, we are asking all media outlets and other individuals, to please respect that the Le Roy School District will no longer be commenting on student health issues within our schools. We have been warned by medical experts that the continued media attention on the Le Roy School District and greater community runs the risk of negatively impacting the students previously diagnosed with conversion disorder that have recovered and can also serve as a catalyst for new symptoms to develop. We respectfully refer you to our Web site if you would like information that the district has previously issued regarding this matter.
