There was a 'code yellow' at Boca Raton Community High School for a time on Friday.

It came after a threat was posted on social media, according to a tweet from Boca Raton police.

Code yellow means no one comes or goes from the campus but school classes take place as scheduled.

It was lifted around noon.

Officers from both the Boca Raton Police Department and Palm Beach County School District Police responded to the campus.
