Florida Board Mandates FortifyFL Training for Parents, Students

News summary

The Florida State Board of Education has mandated that school districts provide annual training to parents and students on the use of the FortifyFL app, which allows for anonymous reporting of suspicious activities, to combat the issue of false threats. This decision comes after a significant rise in false reports, which have legal and serious consequences for those involved. The training aims to educate parents about the penalties associated with false threats, emphasizing that such actions will be taken seriously and can lead to criminal charges for both students and potentially their parents. Education Commissioner Manny Diaz Jr. stressed the importance of parental involvement in discussing these issues with their children. This initiative is part of a broader effort to enhance school safety and ensure accountability, aligning with a new state law that also requires student training on the app. The board's action underscores the critical priority of maintaining a safe school environment without interference from false threats.
