UPDATE 12 P.M.
An official with Leon County Schools confirmed a district wide threat was received. They tell ABC 27 multiple other districts around Florida received threats. LCS said the threat they received was determined to not be credible. Leon County Sheriff's Office was also made aware.
Just before 11 a.m. Wednesday, in Madison County, the school board wrote on Facebook, "there are emails being sent throughout the state to school districts indicating that there are bombs placed in schools. As a precautionary measure, all students are exiting the school building to a safe place on campus until the Madison County Sheriff's Department determines our buildings are safe. Please do not come to the schools as we will keep everyone updated."
Following that initial post, the board wrote, "Both Lee and Greenville Elementary Schools have been cleared and students are returning to class. Madison County Central School and Pinetta Elementary School have both been cleared and students are returning to classes." They added, "MCHS has been cleared and students are returning to their normal schedule."
Meanwhile, Taylor County said they do not believe that there is a specific threat to any school in the county, but they're still taking precautions and investigating. They updated their situation with the Facebook video embedded below.
