When is the grand jury taking place?

The grand jury is a standing body that is always ready to be called into session by the district attorney.

They can meet, hear the evidence and hear testimony from witnesses and/or from the accused anytime the DA wants to present the case to them.

Knowing Hillar Moore, he will do that this coming week if I had to guess. At the latest, it will be within two weeks.

If the grand jury believes there is not enough evidence to "reasonably" expect a conviction, it can vote "no bill" which means no indictment and the charges can be dropped, unless the DA decides on his own to prosecute, which Hillar Moore won't do.

If he wanted to do that, he could indict the accused on his own without presenting it to a grand jury.

IMO, this is Hillar Moore's way of getting the charges dropped without him looking like he did favors for LSU.
