Seminole County schools are facing a problem with more threats being made on social media and at school. Superintendent Serita Beamon and Sheriff Dennis Lemma have warned that these threats are taken very seriously and can have real consequences. This message is critical after an unloaded, stolen gun was found at Lake Brantley High School, as reported by MyNews13.

Incidents ranging from a perceived threat at Seminole High, prompting an increased law enforcement presence, to a code yellow lockdown at Lake Brantley High due to a gun on campus have rattled the community, with officials urging dialogue between parents and their children to understand the gravity of such "pranks" which, Lemma points out, as captured in a five-minute video posted by the district on YouTube, cited by ClickOrlando.

In response to this surge of unverified threats and malicious rumors, the Superintendent issued a stern warning, detailed by MyNews13, stating, "There will never be a time that threatening behavior or weapons being brought to a campus will be tolerated" and highlighted the swift action taken by law enforcement to investigate every report, highlighting the collaboration necessary for ensuring the safety of students, faculty, and staff, as outlined in the district's comprehensive threat mitigation strategy.
