JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The lockdown at Wolfson High School was lifted after police investigated a threat that was found to be false. All students and staff are safe, Duval County Public Schools said.

The district said that the school is resuming normal activities after a false report of a student who made threats of self-harm and harm to others in a message sent to families.

Hello again Wolfson High families, this is Duval County Public Schools again with an update. There is not a credible threat at Wolfson. Again, there is not a credible threat and the school is in the process or resuming normal school activities. This morning, the school was placed on a lockdown as a precaution as police investigated a report that a student made threats of self-harm and harm to others. Following an investigation, police were able to determine this was a false threat and there was no danger to staff and students. While this was a false threat, we know this type of incident causes serious concern and frustration among students, families, and staff. We understand this and we thank you for your patience as we take security measures to keep our school community safe. Thank you for your support.
