JENNINGS, Mo. – The Jennings School District has announced there will be no classes next week.

NewsChannel 5 spoke with an employee at the district office who said the closure is out of caution over the impending grand jury decision. Students were originally scheduled to be off only Thursday and Friday.

Parents will be notified via a phone blast and letters sent home with students Friday. Class will resume Monday, Dec. 1.

There's no word on when an announcement from the grand jury will come.

1. Arent ALL schools closed the whole week of thanksgiving?

[uppityperson]

2. No, typically just Thur and Fri.

3. Not when I was in school.

Maybe things are different now. Even so, why would they just now announce it? Shouldn't that have been on the schedule already?

4. No, where I live, it stops Wednesday at noon.\nt

5. Mine was just closed Thursday and Friday

but my daughter's school is closed for the week. Monday and Tuesday they are closed for parent-teacher conferences and Wednesday, Thursday and Friday for Thanksgiving. So technically they are closed 3 days for Thanksgiving and 2 days for conferences. The net result of course is that she's home all week. Oh joy . . .

6. So another example of SOME white people being afraid that when you kill Black kids for

jaywalking you best be prepared for some shit to go down

8. Jennings is a predominantly African-American district n/t

Thanks for the information.

13. We all do that from time to time

[GGJohn]

15. Yes we do, and if I do it and it's proven that I was wrong,

I'll issue an apology and delete the offending post.

[yeoman6987]

16. Awesome! Have a wonderful weekend!

[GGJohn]

17. You have a great weekend also.

[Skittles]

19. that one is a chronic offender

seriously

[GGJohn]

20. Thanks for that.

Have a great weekend.

[NaturalHigh]

21. He will be issuing a mea culpa any minute now.

Right?

[GGJohn]

22. Kinda seems unlikely at this point in time.

18. You really need to get grip. Feel silly?

[zazen]

7. they were to be told 3 hours before the formal announcement if on school day or 24 hrs for weekend

so that children could have time to get home without driving into dangerous situations.

10. Good, the kids can protest if necessary.

[jwirr]

12. That is what I was thinking. All letting schools out in that district will do is allow the older

students to join in the protest. It is probably an acknowledgement that most of them would be going anyhow.

11. Sounds to me like we are gearing up for no charges being laid

I hope I'm wrong, but I've got a very bad feeling this cop is about to get away with murder. I sincerely hope I am wrong...

14. There Won't Be Charges

All of us hoping we're wrong is fine and dandy, but we're not.

No indictment, and requests for calm & peaceful protests, so that this will all blow over and go back to things as they were.

The media will move on to the next story, and so on, and so on....

I know they won't, but it would be nice if they just tell it like it is. The police can get away with what they want to, because they're police. Resistance is futile.
