MDCPS: School Threats Lead to Arrests in Miami-Dade

Miami-Dade County Public Schools (MDCPS) warned that any threats made against schools will result in arrests, regardless of intent.

The district stated that threats, whether a prank or serious, cause significant disruptions. These actions distract law enforcement from genuine dangers, strain resources, and cost taxpayers money. Threats also increase student stress, anxiety, and absenteeism. MDCPS aims to maintain a safe educational environment.
