It said the threat was made Tuesday night on social media.
The school issued the following message to reassure parents and guardians:
Good morning Boca Raton High parents, this is Dr. King with an important message. We’ve received calls from concerned parents regarding a message shared on Instagram with an implied threat of violence to our school.
