JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Terry Parker High School was placed on a "Code Red' lockdown Friday morning as a result of a reported threat, according to an email sent by Principal Daniels.
That lockdown has since been lifted.
The school district says the lockdown was a precautionary measure as the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office performed an investigation. All students and staff are safe, says the school.
A representative from the school district forwarded First Coast News this email sent to parents:
"Dear Terry Parker families,
This is Principal Daniels. I am sorry to interrupt your day, but I know that this is information you will want to hear. All students and staff are safe, but as a precaution, we have placed the school on lockdown due to a reported threat. We take all threats to the safety of our students and staff seriously and are working with our law enforcement to investigate. In the meantime, students are continuing with classroom activities but with limited movement so that we can investigate and ensure everyone’s safety. I do ask that you not come to the school while we are under lockdown. I will continue to keep you updated throughout the morning. Thank you for your patience and understanding."
This is a developing story.
