Freedom High School was placed on a modified lockdown on Monday after a threat of violence to the school, according to Orange County Public School officials.

Officials said weekend social media talk about some kind of violence at the school on Taft Vineland Road prompted the modified lockdown.

Parents were alerted of the incident via an Orange Message and extra law enforcement arrived at the school.

The schools principal said the lockdown is standard operating procedure and will continue until law enforcement determines the threat is unfounded.
