2024 Training Sessions

5:00 PM - Welcome, Opening Session & Legislative Update
A look back at what was passed in the 2024 Legislative Session, who is campaigning towards victory in November, and the results of the Special Session!
(Colby Coash, John Spatz & NASB Officers)

6:05 PM - Training Sessions 1 

How Does Nebraska Compare? ...
Attend this session to hear about five-year trend data on Nebraska student demographics and performance. How do we rank educationally, invest in students, and financially support students compared to other states? An update on the Shortage Steering Committee will be shared.
(Shari Becker, Director of Education Leadership Search Service, and John Spatz, Executive Director)

School Claims, Insurance Trends and High-Risk Activities ...
Come to this session to hear about Best Practices for schools.  No one wants to read about the district, on the front page of the local newspaper, unless it’s for passing a school bond or winning a state championship.  Let’s talk about school insurance and how we can prevent hitting the headlines. 
(Megan Boldt, Associate Executive Director, Director of ALICAP/Insurance)

Accountability and Stakeholder Engagement ...
The research is clear. Community and parent engagement fosters goodwill, brings in new partners and resources, and will positively impact support of students, expanded learning opportunities, and facility upkeep and expansion. Does the board know what the staff, students, parents, and community are thinking, what they expect of the school district, and what they support? This session will address the importance of engaging stakeholders, managing the feedback, and how the board assures stakeholders voices have been heard. 
(Marcia Herring, Director of Board Leadership)

6:50 PM - Training Sessions 2

Networks of Support: Inspiring Local Leadership ...
Leadership does not have to feel lonely! Support systems are all around us to share the love of local leadership. But where do school leaders reach out to find such support? Hear from local representatives from the Nebraska Children and Families Foundation about the many programs, services, and funding they can offer districts in support of students and families! 
(Caden Frank, Board Leadership Community Engagement Specialist)

Open Meetings, Option Enrollments, and Ouch, Title IX! ...
The last Unicameral session made a lot of changes calling for policy revisions, but that doesn’t mean the Feds can’t match them with a long-dreaded Title IX update. All these and more for 2024. 
(Jim Luebbe, Director of Policy Services)

Support for Board and Superintendent Leadership Success ...
Transition is not an event, but a process that is important to the success of the board and superintendent as non-incumbent board members prepare for their new role. Do you have a plan for board orientation, when is the best time to engage, and what information will be presented and discussed? This session will provide orientation materials for new members, and a checklist that outlines how the board and superintendent work collaboratively for positive outcomes for the school district. 
(Marcia Herring, Director of Board Leadership)
