School leaders are investigating after racist signs, one reading "colored" and one reading "whites only," were posted above two water fountains at a high school in Florida.

The signs were found at First Coast High School in Jacksonville. A photo of them was posted on social media and shared with WJAX-TV on Thursday evening.

Duval County Public Schools spokesperson Laureen Ricks sent the news station the following statement:

"(The) school is investigating, but it appears to be a prank. Staff immediately removed the notes once it was brought to their attention."
