Board of Education Information Items

Approval of the Report of the Legislative Committee Including Recommended Legislative Positions

The Board Legislative Committee updated the Board regarding where bills are currently in the Nebraska Legislature.


The committee may provide recommendations for positions on a bill based on its potential impact on Omaha Public Schools. The Board did not adjust any recommended positions.

 

The Board Legislative Committee will continue to monitor bills and will review any adjustments. As adjustments to bills are made, the Omaha Public Schools position may also change.
