“To the parents, we understand your concerns and are working with Flagler Schools to keep you updated as this caller continues to disrupt school operations,” the agency announced on social media, adding “We are also conducting proactive patrols in other schools to ease your concerns that this is a distraction.”
Tuesday afternoon, sheriff’s officials said someone called the county’s non-emergency line and threatened a shooting after students at BTMS had been released for the day.
Then on Wednesday morning, deputies responded to the campuses of BTMS and Wadsworth Elementary School after FCSO said someone called the school and made a threat.
Detectives said they believe the same caller may be involved in all three cases.
FCSO is asking anyone with tips on the anonymous caller to contact the department.
