The school district’s top administrators on April 20 weighed in on the multiple guilty verdicts against a former Minneapolis police offer for the 2020 murder of George Floyd, saying they were “relieved” by the jury’s decisions, and offered resources for district parents and students who may have been impacted by the trial.
Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who is White, was found guilty earlier in the day of 2nd Degree Murder, 3rd Degree Murder and 2nd Degree Manslaughter for his killing of Floyd, who was Black. Jurors deliberated a little over 10 hours in reaching their verdicts, after a three-week trial.
