OMAHA, Neb. —
Monday afternoon, the Omaha Public School district brought in specialists to talk about their procedures for keeping kids safe.
The district is proud of the safety of their schools. They say their data shows that their approaches—such as a strong partnership with law enforcement and staying proactive—have helped them create a more secure environment at school.
"Our ultimate goal is to make the school a better environment," says Lisa Utterback.
A goal she says the district is meeting in 2025, with their behavior and discipline report showing weapon events and assaults are down.
"The data is showing that we're moving in that right direction, then that reiterates to us and affirms that good work is happening," says Utterback.
They give credit to their growing relationship
