Prioritizing Safety Across Our District The Osceola School District is committed to the safety and well-being of our students, staff, and visitors. To strengthen security across all campuses and sporting venues, we have implemented the Opengate Weapons Detection System. This advanced system will scan all individuals entering our schools and events for weapons, ensuring dangerous items are kept out of our facilities. We understand that new procedures can raise questions, and we are committed to making this transition as smooth as possible for everyone. To help with this, staff will be on hand daily to guide and train students through the Opengate system. Your safety is our top priority, and we appreciate your support in making our district a secure place to learn, work, and play. #webleedpurpleandgold
