Clay County is dealing with a surge of school threats since the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting last Wednesday.
Many of them are copycat threats, and none have turned out to be credible.

Since the school massacre in South Florida, the Clay County Sheriff’s Office has investigated 11 threats.
This school year alone, it’s gotten 17 threats.
Two of those came from the same student who made a verbal and social media threat.
Oakleaf High School was the latest target of a threat that while false caused a real scare prompting 40 percent of students to be absent Thursday.
Because of the increase in threats Sheriff Daniels called a news conference Thursday to address the issue.
“The consequences could lead to out of school suspension up to expulsion and that would be the determination of a hearing to the board,” Davis said .
Sheriff Daniels said the Florida Sheriff's Association is looking into whether law enforcement can help train teachers and administrators in the use of firearms.
But one thing they can agree on is tighter security.
