Jacksonville, FL — UPDATE: DCPS says law enforcement has determined there is no threat to these schools, and an “all clear” has been given. Police will continue to investigate, and a letter and automated call is being sent home to parents and guardians.
Even though ‘all clear’ was given parents are lining up to pick up their kids at Mandarin Middle. One mom told me her daughter texted her in a panic. Lots of parents picking up kids at Mandarin Oaks Elem too @ActionNewsJax @WOKVNews pic.twitter.com/obl2gnYW63
