Omaha Public Schools postpones Athletics until at least Oct

Posted Aug 07, 2020 7:52 PM

On Friday Omaha Public Schools (OPS) Superintendent Cheryl Logan put out her decision on the plan for reopening Omaha Public Schools. 

The district was supposed to start school on Tuesday, Aug 11th. They have pushed that time back to Aug 18th and will go all remote learning for at least the first quarter of the school year, sometime in October. 

This effects athletics for Omaha public schools in a big way. A quote from their release:

  Athletics and Activities Suspended
During our time in the 100% Remote Learning Instructional Model, all activities and athletics will be suspended. We understand the important role extra-curricular activities play in a student’s school experience. This suspension is for the health and safety of everyone. 

With Omaha Public Schools not participating in athletics until at least October, the question remains what the other Omaha area schools will do.
