T

he Fortify Florida app, an anonymous reporting tool, was designed to keep Florida students safe by allowing them to report anyone threatening violence.

School districts worked over the summer to implement the app, which is required under the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Act enacted after the February 2018 mass shootings in Parkland.

The app has an anonymous feature allowing students to notify the district about anything suspicious. When a report is made through the app, it quickly sends notifications to school leaders, the district and law enforcement.
