The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said nothing was found after it investigated a reported bomb threat at Florida State College at Jacksonville’s South Campus off Beach Boulevard.
FSCJ said JSO gave the “all clear” to resume activities; earlier Monday afternoon, all classes and events at South Campus were canceled for the rest of Monday.

Just before 4 p.m., FSCJ said students and faculty still on campus should evacuate immediately.
JSO was dispatched at around 4:30 p.m. in response to a call about a suspicious backpack on FSCJ’s campus. Officers canvassed the area and found no such package.
JSO says that although the bomb threat was a false alarm, calling in a false threat is a crime, and the matter will be investigated. Information on the call was received from Atlantic Beach Police and the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office, who transferred the caller to JSO.
FSCJ said classes and activities at its South Campus will resume as regularly scheduled on Tuesday.
