Omaha Officials Offer No Details in Student’s Death

omaha-psOMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Omaha Public Schools says it plans to meet with the mother of a 12-year-old boy who died following an incident at a school swimming pool.

Superintendent Mark Evans on Tuesday did not provide new details about the Thursday incident at Nathan Hale Magnet Middle School. Student Demariont’e Brown-Elliott died Friday at a hospital.

Evans says the school district is not permitted to share information about the incident with anyone other than the boy’s mother.

An attorney representing the family of Demariont’e says the school district owes them an explanation.
