CCSO says there will be an increased police presence near Clay High School due to ‘disturbing comment’ on social media– The Clay County Sheriff’s Office said there will be an increased law enforcement presence near Clay High School out of precaution due to a “disturbing comment” a student made on a social media post.
Principal Halter sent a message to parents saying that the district received a tip through the Fortify Florida app regarding the comment. Halter also said that the student will not be attending school. Please be assured that we take every threat, even implied ones, with the utmost seriousness. The Clay County Sheriff’s Office was immediately notified and is currently investigating the matter.
We have identified the student involved, and I want to state clearly that this individual will not be attending school tomorrow. Clay County District Schools maintains a zero-tolerance policy regarding threats and students who make them will be disciplined according to the student code of conduct. Out of an abundance of caution, you will see enhanced security and an increased law enforcement presence at Clay High School tomorrow morning.
I want to extend a sincere thank you to the community member who brought this to our attention. By “seeing something and saying something,” you allowed us to respond immediately. This proactive reporting is vital to keeping our campus safe, and we truly appreciate your vigilance and cooperation. We ask that you please use this incident as an opportunity to talk to your children about the severity and permanent consequences of posting threats or implied violence online.
