After an investigation, a person was arrested “for disrupting a school function and threats against the school.” A report identified the student as a 14-year-old who attends the AMIKids Jacksonville school in Green Cove Springs.

The Clay County District Schools Police Department placed the school under a brief lockdown while officials looked into the threat. The lockdown has since been lifted.

Officials said there is no additional danger to the school or the public.
