The system gives all community members an opportunity to speak up, without fear of retribution, to help our administration and school resource officers address concerns in order to maintain a successful and safe learning environment for all students.

Fake Threat, Real Consequences



  • Think Before You Post. Hoax Threats are Serious Federal Crimes

    Making a fake threat of violence is a criminal act that can land you in prison. It doesn't matter if you say it, text it, write it, snap it or post it on social media, students who make threats can face serious consequences. Even if it was meant to be a joke, calling in a fake threat of violence is a state crime in Florida, as well as a federal crime.

    Every violent threat is taken seriously, because police don't know if a threat is real or fake. Each time a threat is made against one of our schools, man hours and tax dollars are wasted searching the location, and the school day is disrupted. Fake threats can greatly affect absentee rates, and have a profound impact on a student's future.
