OPS New Safety Protocol

More than 500 Omaha Public School District leaders met to talk about the new safety measures for all schools in the district.

On Thursday, they gathered at a safety summit to unveil their new protocols. Whether it is a verbal threat from a child toward staff or another student to a child bringing a weapon to school, everyone will follow the same set of instructions.

Teachers, custodians, cafeteria staff to teachers and office staff, all will act as a team. Everyone will go through training and learn how to be on the same page in case there is a threat.

School leaders say no threat inside a building is too small.

District officials will not discuss the protocols in place for safety reasons but want the community to know they have a proactive plan in place to protect students, teachers and staff.

Changes will go into effect this fall.
