Welcome to our Board Meeting Bulletin series, where we highlight key takeaways from each board meeting to keep our community informed and engaged with the latest developments in our school district.
Security Response Success: The district effectively managed simultaneous security threats at Liberty Middle School and the central office through coordinated efforts with law enforcement. Students were safely relocated to Papillion La Vista South High School, with parents and staff praising the efficient handling of the situation. Law enforcement commended the district's collaboration during the incident.
2025-26 Calendar Proposal: The district presented the proposed calendar for the 2025-26 school year, featuring 173 elementary and 175 secondary student days. The calendar includes strategic placement of professional development days, with school starting August 12, 2025, and ending May 22, 2026. Notable changes include moving the March staff development day to September to support early-year planning.
Board Election Results: The district welcomed newly elected board member Eliza Butler, who will join returning members Marcus Madler and Skip Bailey in January. The transition marks the departure of Valerie Fisher after 20+ years of dedicated service to the district. This change in board composition represents an important moment in district leadership.
Contract Policy Enforcement: The board took decisive action regarding mid-year teacher departures by canceling two contracts and initiating reporting to the Nebraska Department of Education. This decision emphasizes the district's commitment to maintaining instructional continuity and protecting student learning experiences, particularly given current staffing challenges.
