Broward County Public Schools Superintendent Howard Hepburn is holding a news conference Monday afternoon where he will discuss school safety and recent school threats.
The news conference, which is scheduled for 1:30 p.m., comes days after a 14-year-old girl was arrested on felony charges for allegedly making threats on social media against multiple schools.
According to Broward Sheriff's Office deputies, the student from Lauderdale Lakes used her Instagram stories on Saturday afternoon to threaten several Broward schools, and later said she intended them as a joke.
BSO deputies worked with the Fort Lauderdale Police Department, Plantation Police Department and Broward County Public Schools Police on the case.
The teen, whose identity has not been released, appeared in court Sunday where Magistrate Joseph Murphy ordered that she be held at the Broward Juvenile Detention Center until at least Sept. 28.
