The district says students and staff were safe in a designated safety zone and are all accounted for before the threat was cleared and students returned to classes about an hour later.

This is the third time in three weeks that Cocoa High School has dealt with a bomb threat.

A parent made a bomb threat over the phone on Feb. 4, which forced the school to lock down.

Then on Feb. 11, the school evacuated everyone to the campus stadium because of a bomb threat.
