MIDDLEBURG, Fla. — Extra safety and security measures will be taken at Middleburg High School Tuesday after officials were alerted about a threat made to the school by a student. 

The Clay County Sheriff's Office shared a 6:45 a.m. community alert from the OneClay Safety and Security Facebook page. The alert stated that a student from another school allegedly made a threat against Middleburg High School. 

The school's administration identified the student who made the threat and immediately contacted the sheriff's office who worked overnight investigating it.

"We will continue to have zero tolerance for this behavior, and every student will be disciplined as outlined in the code of student conduct if he or she makes a threat," the post reads. 

The post concludes by encouraging everyone to say something if they see something.
