In Michigan:
All Genesee County school districts have unanimously decided to cancel school and all in-county activities for Thursday, Dec. 20 and Friday, Dec. 21.
As you may know, there have been numerous rumors circulating in our district, and in neighboring districts, about potential threats of violence against students. Additional rumors connected to the Mayan calendar predictions of the end of the world on Friday have also surfaced. These rumors have been thoroughly investigated and determined to be false.
