Police respond to southwest Omaha middle school

OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - Omaha Police were called Thursday afternoon to Beveridge Middle School.

A letter from Principal Tiffany Molina sent to staff and student families said police were on the school’s campus south of 120th and Pacific streets “for an extended time” because of two separate incidents involving students.

“There were no widespread safety concerns,” she said in the letter.

While noting she couldn’t provide further details about the incidents due to privacy concerns, she encouraged continued guidance to help students “use good judgment in their actions for their safety and the safety of others.”

Friday is the last day of the 2022-23 school year for Omaha Public Schools.
