LR 189 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Interim study to examine the financing of public education through the Tax Equity and Educational Opportunities Support Act formula and develop recommendations for improving school funding in Nebraska

This resolution (LR 189) directs Nebraska's Education Committee to conduct an interim study on how the state funds public schools through the Tax Equity and Educational Opportunities Support Act formula. The study will examine fairness across all school districts, efficiency in using tax resources, and funding stability during economic changes. It specifically aims to evaluate ways to increase state aid to schools and reduce reliance on property taxes. The committee will report its findings and recommendations to the Legislature after completing the study. This is a procedural step to inform future school funding policy, not a law changing current funding.
