Police said they believe there will be "no further threat" and students are safe to return to school. They did not provide details about the threat or the suspect.
News outlets say a 15-year-old "intellectually disabled" boy has been accused of making threats to the two schools and two elementary schools last week. Those threats were deemed "not credible."
The Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act makes it illegal to post threats against schools on social media.
