PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — A student was detained at Dwyer High School on Monday after the principal said an "inappropriate statement" was made on social media.
In a message to parents and staff Monday, Principal Corey Brooks said the statement prompted a "code yellow" at the school.
A "code yellow" means the school campus is locked down, but limited movement is allowed, and learning and classroom activities continue.
Brooks didn't specify what type of statement was made but said it was "directed against the principal and the school."
"Once it was confirmed that there was no further threat, the Code Yellow was lifted, and regular school activities resumed," Brooks said in a statement.
No students were harmed during the incident.
School officials did not say what type of punishment the student could face because of their actions.

Dear Dwyer Families,
I wanted to inform you that earlier today, our school initiated a Code Yellow due to an inappropriate statement made by a student on social media directed against the principal and the school. The situation was immediately addressed. The student responsible was quickly detained, and once it was confirmed that there was no further threat, the Code Yellow was lifted, and regular school activities resumed. Please rest assured that no students were harmed during this situation.
We want to thank the school police for acting swiftly and efficiently to ensure the safety of our school community. The safety of our students and staff is always our top priority.
Thank you for your continued support and understanding.
