Oologah-Talala Public Schools goes on a brief lock-out after a threat made on social media.

Shortly before 8:00am this morning, OTPS was made aware of a concerning social media post involving the high school. Administrators met with the Rogers County Sheriff’s Office and the Oologah Police Department to ensure students on campus were safe and that the threat was fully investigated as quickly as possible. Law enforcement presence was increased across the entire campus and OHS was placed on lock-out procedures.

Students from both high school and middle were also not allowed to travel between buildings for classes unattended. Throughout this process, several messages were sent to all parents and guardians within the district as well as to staff within the schools. Law enforcement and school administrators made contact with every student named as being potentially involved in the situation. Upon conclusion of their investigation, the district was advised that the threat to OTPS was not credible and that students could safely return to their normal schedule.
