Virginia Graduation Tragedy: Schools Close for Rest of Year and Reschedule Graduations.
Richmond Public Schools will be closed for the rest of the school year and all end-of-year celebrations have been canceled after a mass shooting at the Huguenot High School graduation ceremony on Tuesday. Graduations have been rescheduled and additional security measures have been added. No bags, flowers, balloons or amplified devices will be allowed inside the schools and all attendees will also be subject to searches. RPS staff will still be expected to report to work on Thursday.
