local ten news. >> Andrew thank you. Right now a new directive is taking effect in Broward County schools. The district is taking a different approach to how they respond to bomb threats. Local10's Roy Ramos is in Fort Lauderdale to explain. >> This new directive went into effect as soon as that memo was sent out to school principals, meaning bomb threats will no longer require students to automatically evacuate school buildings. They are a clear disruption for students, staff and faculty and schools across Broward County. But the district saying bomb threats received via text, phone call or email will no longer automatically prompt manner evacuations of schools. >> And that came in regards to our constant evacuation of buildings during bomb threats. We want to take a different approach that approach, Superintendent Howard Hepburn tells me, was written out in this memo. >> The district sent to principals May 10th. Instead putting them and law enforcement to assess how credible the risk is before determining to move students out of buildings and onto football fields or other open areas. >> We wanted to change our approach just to make sure our students are safe and secure and not immediately evacuate the facility from a bomb threat. >> The recent directive not sitting well with some parents who feel all threats should be taken seriously and investigated only after their children have been placed out of harm's way. >> All the information that comes in to whatever schools being targeted, it needs to be taken seriously. You think they should evacuate? >> Of course. Of course. >> I think they should get them out automatically. It's a safety reason. >> The instruction by the district comes after a growing number of threats have already prompted more than 175 disruptions since late April. Disruption some parents feel, are necessary for the safety of their children. >> I mean, all bomb threats should be taken seriously because we don't know, and you may have heard in that directive principles mentioned. >> Well, we did reach out to the Broward principals and Assistant Principals Association who tell us that they do not support this new directive. In fact, they'd like that word principal removed from that document. For now.
