Ferguson-Florissant School District will be closed Tuesday, August 19 through Friday, August 22

All schools in the Ferguson-Florissant School District will be closed Tuesday, August 19 through Friday, August 22 due to continued unrest in and around Ferguson, Mo. This decision was made after much careful deliberation and consideration of input received from local law enforcement officials and District security staff.

We believe that closing schools for the rest of this week will allow needed time for peace and stability to be restored to our community and allow families to plan ahead for the additional days that children will be out of school.

While we deeply regret this delay to the start of the 2014-2015 school year, our first priority is the safety of our students.

Due to this change, the first day of school in the Ferguson-Florissant School District will be on Monday, August 25.
