Othello School Board discusses security

OTHELLO — Othello School District officials and Othello Police Department officers detailed some of the measures they’re taking to enhance school security following several recent mass shootings across the country. Board member Lindsy Prows said the Uvalde, Texas shooting affected her differently than earlier incidents. “I know I’m not the only parent,” she said. “It’s been a topic of conversations at the baseball field and after graduation, and any time parents are together with their kids. They’re concerned. This last event hit a little bit different. It looked like our community, and maybe that’s why it felt different.”
