Anatomy of the school-closing decision: Rumors of violence led to all Genesee County schools shutting for two days | MLive.com
GENESEE COUNTY, MI -- It was an unusual meeting for an unusual day.
Swirling rumors that started earlier in the week at county schools had everyone on edge Wednesday, Dec. 19.
According to the rumor being passed around, largely on Facebook, some students were planning a "revolt" on Friday, Dec. 21, the day some believe ancient Mayan calendars predict the world will end.
Earlier in the day, police swarmed Grand Blanc High School after a 911 call reported shots fired in the building.
The report turned out to be false, a text message prank, but for a few terrifying minutes, Grand Blanc and other area schools went on lockdown.

How Right to Work Works
How Right to Work Works | Washington Free Beacon
Gradual implementation is a major component of the GOP strategy.
When the law is implemented in April 2013, it will apply only to new businesses or workers who are not bound by contracts. While new job creators will be able to open up shop without worry of onerous union contracts, United Auto Workers (UAW) members at Ford will maintain paying union dues until their contract expires in 2015.
“We purposefully set this up to not break any contracts,” Meekhof said. “Once a contract is completed, then the workers would have the choice.”
.....The right-to-work law exempts cops and firemen, powerful uniformed labor forces that garner a great deal of respect from voters.
The law’s authors also avoided the prospect of repeal-by-referendum by tacking on a $1 million appropriation to “educate” workers about their new rights.
Appropriations bills are exempt from referendum.
