The 2011 Nebraska Legislature has completed its work to balance its budget. Now the ball is in the court of every school board across the prairie. Even with federal Education Jobs money, the state will disburse 60 million fewer dollars through the K-12 school aid formula in 2011-12 than 2010-11. According to the two- year budget, 2012-13 is currently set to remain stagnant, with no further growth in state disbursements. So how is your board going to maintain programs and meet needs in your education community?
