A custodian who worked at Grace Abbott Elementary School in Omaha died Thursday of complications from COVID-19, according to Millard school district officials.
Greg Petersen, who had worked full time at the school for two years, is the first Millard staff member to die of the disease, according to spokeswoman Rebecca Kleeman.
No students have died of the disease, she said.
Petersen worked as a day custodian and was in his early 60s, she said.
