New app alerts authorities of danger in Florida schools

A new app has been developed by the Office of Safe Schools to prevent future attacks in Florida schools from occurring. The app, called FortifyFL, provides a way for students to anonymously report dangerous activity on school grounds.

This new technology is designed to make the process of alerting law enforcement officials easier and less intimidating to students. Any information that is reported through the app will immediately be sent to threat assessment teams who will evaluate the type of action that should be taken.

To submit questions or learn more about the app, email the Florida Department of Education.
