Prior to the November 2024 election, Nebraska's 1,700 locally elected school board members are 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.

In addition to Legislative Meet & Greets across the state, we will be asking all Legislative Candidates to answer five open-ended questions regarding their thoughts on local governance and education related issues. Topics include: Local Control, School Funding, The Role of Education in the State, Educational Workforce, Mandates & more. Look for those later this Summer. We also plan to speak with the candidates running for the four open State Board of Education seats.
