Nebraska Seeks Major Overhaul of State Education
Nebraska educators call for a sweeping reorganization of school districts to raise quality and equity. A bill LB 27, introduced by three senators, would create county and state committees and require public votes on reorganized districts. Studies show some districts have zero mill levy while others reach high rates, with statewide tests in 1947-48 placing Nebraska students below national averages in most subjects.

He argues the move would lower federal taxes, encourage broader soil conservation, and enable more terracing as costs currently fall on individual operators.
