Fortify Florida is an app used in public schools to report threats or suspicious activity.
This week, Duval County Public Schools sent an email to parents warning of false reports.
The email said, “Unfortunately, Fortify Florida has been experiencing a high level of false tips according to the Department of Education. We want to remind you — and ask you to remind your children — that intentionally making a false report is unlawful under Florida statute.”
