Florida schools to implement new threat management system to help identify concerning behaviors

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - It's been more than five years since 17 lives were lost in the Parkland school shooting. It led to the creation of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Commission to better assess school threats and prevent mass shootings. 

Beginning January 1, Florida schools will implement a new threat-management system.

How to identify concerning behavior and stop it before it becomes a school threat is the question Florida lawmakers hope the state's new threat-management system will help answer.
