LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — Western High School students were spotted protesting Thursday in the central Las Vegas Valley.
A group of students from Western High School participated in the protest a day after the planned walkouts across the valley.
FOX5 crews captured students across the valley participating in a nationwide school walkout on Wednesday.

After coming across flyers circulating on social media, FOX5 reached out to CCSD regarding the planned protests Tuesday.
“CCSD encourages students to be active participants in democracy. The District supports all students who are willing to take the time to research important issues and express their opinions civilly and peacefully,” their statement read. “CCSD must ensure that students are safe during the school day while on campus. Under Nevada law, we must report any student who does not attend or walks out of school as unexcused unless their parent or guardian excused them from school attendance for the day.”
School district officials also clarified their policy, which was a resolution adopted in 2017. The school district said they “do not currently check any student’s immigration status and [are] not responsible for enforcing federal immigration law.”
