A school district (Jennings) that includes some students from Ferguson, MO, is cancelling classes Monday and Tuesday, citing potential unrest if a much anticipated grand jury announcement occurs soon.
The Jennings School District had already planned to shut down Wednesday through the end of the week for Thanksgiving. A letter sent home to parents on Friday said that with the uncertainty regarding the grand jury announcement, closing schools for the entire week seemed like the most logical thing to do.
A Grand Jury is now deliberating on weather or not Wilson will be charged.
