Message from the Superintendent, Sept. 16

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Since the horrific school shooting in Georgia, we have had a very high number of threats and false threats reported. We will pursue and investigate all reports, engage law enforcement in investigations, and enforce our Student Code of Conduct to the fullest extent.

Resources are being used and schools, staff and students are being negatively impacted due to these reports. Our community is more vulnerable due to the recent tragic school shooting which has redirected resources to focus on each and every one of these reports. We rely heavily on FortifyFL to receive reports of suspicious activity, threats, and dangerous behaviors within our district.  We do ask that if “you see something, say something”.

We need your help to ensure that what is being reported is of actual and immediate concern knowing that resources will be immediately deployed to investigate and address. When false reports are made, we will investigate the source of the threat and pursue charges as appropriate.

I truly believe that it takes our SJCSD families, staff, law enforcement and our community to make our schools safe and secure for our most precious asset…our students.

Together,

Tim Forson
Superintendent
