Prior to the November 2022 election, Nebraska's 1,700 locally elected school board members were eager to learn more about the views and opinions of their fellow elected leaders and candidates running for the Legislature, as well as the State Board of Education and Governor. In addition to Legislative Meet & Greets across the state, we asked all Legislative Candidates to answer five open-ended questions regarding their thoughts on local governance and education related issues. Below are their responses ... topics include: Local Control, School Funding, The Role of Education in the State, Educational Workforce, Mandates & more. We also spoke with both Gubernatorial candidates, and the eight candidates running for the four open State Board of Education seats. The videos of those who won their race are posted below as well.
