It's the second time Boyd Anderson has been in the news in the past couple weeks. The school was placed on lockdown back on April 12 after a student was spotted with a toy gun.
"They’re always on lockdown. There’s always something new," parent Sulay Ocasio said. "My kids were always in online school for this reason and this year they decided they wanted to come to school and you go to work and you think your kids are going to be safe but I’m always nervous because I don’t know when they’re going to call me and say something is going on here."
