UPDATE: Two of three Westside students to be charged after allegedly placing semen in frosting during 'Foods' class. The students face disturbing the peace and lewd conduct charges in juvenile court. Previous story Omaha police said three students at Westside High School placed semen in a class food project and presented it to their teacher for tasting. Police said it happened about 3:30 p.m. Dec. 8. Police confirm to KETV NewsWatch 7 that the three boys left the classroom at various times to use the restroom. "All three admitted to having planned to bring semen into the classroom, to mix it into the food product and present it to their teacher for tasting," a press release said. The students were later identified and interviewed. Two of the three students admitted to placing the body fluid into the frosting they were preparing for class. The third student stated he opted not to take part in the prank, police said. All three students were ticketed for "misdemeanor assault" and are facing disciplinary action from the school. KETV NewsWatch 7 reached out to the Westside School District for comment: "An incident took place Thursday at Westside High School involving three students and a staff member. We are not commenting on specifics involved in this case, other than to say we offer our complete support to the staff member involved, and we are working with Omaha Police to determine what/if any criminal citations are issued. These students will face consequences, but per district policy, we cannot release specifics regarding the course of punishment. This incident is not indicative of Westside High School or any of our schools, environments that promote respect for all of our staff members and students." The following letter was sent to Westside High School staff members on Thursday morning: "We have a student who posted an online petition and we need to arm you a little bit for the day. "First, the information in the poll does not have the facts straight. If you get asked by students about the poll you can state the facts are not correct. If you receive questions about what is happening, the answer needs to be that we can only discuss discipline of individual students with the student and the parents/guardian. We cannot share disciplinary action with other students. "Second, I know I am new but we need you to trust the right things are being done. Do not believe what you are hearing from the student body or social media. "Third, the only truth in the petition is the fact we must provide education in some manner when students receive serious disciplinary consequence. This is required by law. "Come see me if you have questions. "Jay Opperman "Principal, WHS"
