Manatee County Sheriff Rick Wells and his team are working alongside the FBI on the investigation to locate the source of these threats.
These threats and those Individuals involved with them could face a second degree felony charge.
Following Wednesday, February 9th's threat, Parrish High School sent a letter to parents detailing their plans for safety, going forward.
“We are calling to keep you informed of our current school situation. We are continuing to work with law enforcement and our district as we closely monitor all events and reports. Again, in an abundance of caution, we will continue to have extra security and law enforcement presence on campus. We will also be using our district’s walkthrough, touchless metal detection system at designated entry points. This is the same system successfully used at some of our county’s high school football games this season. We will also continue to have additional counselors available to speak with students who have a need or desire to speak with someone about recent PCHS events. Thank you to all students for your help and cooperation during these unprecedented times. Students, continue to work with your teachers regarding classwork that you may have missed over the past couple days. Again, please continue to contact law enforcement with any information or details regarding this investigation. Thank you for your attention”.
