Earlier today, at Kelley Smith Elementary School, a teacher saw and confiscated a student’s backpack containing a BB gun. The BB gun was not used in a threatening manner and the student claims they were unaware it was in the backpack.
Due to the swift actions of the teacher, a lockdown was not needed or implemented.
The incident is currently under investigation from the Putnam County Sheriff's Office and PCSD administrators.
Prior to students entering campus at James A. Long Elementary School this morning, school administrators were notified that a student on a bus at the school appeared to have a weapon. The weapon was identified as an Airsoft gun, and it was not used in a threatening manner.
Out of an abundance of caution, the school was placed on lockdown while the incident was managed. The lockdown was lifted prior to students entering campus at 7:20am, and the start of school was not delayed.
The incident is currently under investigation from the Putnam County Sheriff's Office and PCSD administrators.

SJR State hosts inaugural Agriculture Summit
The inaugural Putnam County Agriculture Summit will be held on Friday, May 13 at the Palatka campus Viking Center (V building) of St. Johns River State College from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. This event was created to celebrate and educate the community on this important sector of the economy in Putnam County and throughout Florida.
Farmers and “agripreneurs” from large operations, to newly-formed ventures, and those simply interested in or considering agriculture are encouraged to attend. The event is free and open to the public. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet and hear from farmers, learn about topics such as technology in agriculture, financing, agritourism, and regulatory environment, as well as collect information from vendors and even taste some homegrown taters.
The keynote panel will include Angela Tenbroeck, 2022 Woman of the Year in Agriculture, and SJR State alumnus Stephen Singleton from Singleton & Sons Farm. Local farmers and agripreneurs will introduce themselves and share information during a morning and afternoon session of “Local Farmers’ Lightning Round. The full summit agenda can be viewed at http://sfyl.ifas.ufl.edu/putnam/agriculture/putnam-county-ag-summit-2022.
For additional information, contact Wendy Mussoline at wmussoli@ufl.edu or (386) 329-0318.
