Flagler Palm Coast High School was placed in lockdown at 12:52 p.m. on Sept. 4 after a threat was made to the campus, according to Flagler Schools' Facebook page.
The school was in lockdown for around an hour until 1:50 p.m. when Flagler County Sheriff's Office deputies gave the all-clear, a FCSO post said. The school was able to transition to a "secure status" just after 1 p.m., allowing students to remain indoors, in their current locations but otherwise continue on with their days, one Flagler Schools post said.
Despite the all-clear, FCSO is still investigating.
"School safety is our top priority, and we take every threat seriously," the FCSO post said. "This is a great example of why we have deputies on every Flagler Schools campus, which allows us to take immediate action to quickly respond to any threat or incident."
As FCSO is still investigating, FCSO Public Information Officer Joseph Bober told the Observer not much information is being released at this time. Bober said FCSO received a 9-1-1 at 12:50 p.m. and the school immediately went into lockdown. FCSO deputies from the K-9, patrol, investigative services and traffic and motors units were among those who responded to the threat.
Because of the investigation, bus transportation will be delayed in the afternoon by approximately 20-30 minutes, Flagler Schools' posts said.
This is a developing story.
