JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Administrators will visit Darnell-Cookman classrooms on Tuesday to warn students about the consequences of making false threats after the school was evacuated by bomb threats twice in one week.
Officials gave the all-clear at Darnell-Cookman School of the Medical Arts around 2:30 p.m. on Monday after a bomb threat caused an evacuation on Monday.
Students and staff ate lunch off school grounds as Duval County School police and Jacksonville Sheriff's Office investigated.
Monday's bomb threat came less than a week after a 12-year-old was arrested for leaving a note with a bomb threat on it in a bathroom on Tuesday.
The school was evacuated on Tuesday approximately 20 minutes before dismissal time after a student said he found a note with a bomb threat in the bathroom.
Students were dismissed at their designated times and car riders and walkers were dismissed from St. Stephen's AME Church.
As administrators talked with the boy who said he found the note, they began to suspect he wrote it.
The 12-year-old boy apologized to the assistant principal and was charged with multiple felony and misdemeanor charges, according to DCPS.
He faces possible expulsion.
Action News Jax will have more details about Monday's bomb threat and the boy's arrest on CBS47 at 5.
