All public schools in Charlottesville, Virginia, were closed for the 2nd day in a row Friday as police continue to investigate an online threat made against black and minority students at the city's high school.
"We would like to acknowledge and condemn the fact that this threat was racially charged," the district said. "We do not tolerate hate or racism."
"We heard clearly that you, too, want us to prioritize the safety of our students and staff," the Charlottesville City Schools posted on itspage Thursday night."Based on extensive conversations with law enforcement, we have decided to remain closed on Friday." The police department is still working to determine the credibility of the threat, the district said in a Facebook post.
