Prioritizing Fact-Based Education
“Fact-based education is crucial for deeper understanding, critical thinking, and problem solving which can ultimately lead to more informed and empower citizens” - Tessa Priesman
Bills related to Nebraska schools are included in this section. The majority of Nebraskan students do not have a prominent voice in the legislative process — NEw Voices wants to change that. Join us as we center young people in education policy.
Carryover Bills
-
Education Committee | Conrad
This bill would require the Nebraska State School Board to develop a model policy for the use of student surveillance technology. The model must identify the tools used for surveillance and their privacy protections.

Schools should not be able to utilize surveillance technology without the parent and student knowing. NEw Voices supports legislation that increases transparency for Nebraskan families.
-
Education Committee | M. Cavanaugh
This bill would provide free breakfast and lunch to all public and private school students.
LB14 is still in committee.
Nebraska students should be focused on coursework not where there next meal is coming from. NEw Voices supports legislation that makes being a student more accessible in Nebraska.
-
Revenue Committee | Sorrentino
This bill implements a one-for-one tax break to fund private schools. Nebraska voters repealed school choice legislation via the ballot initiative in 2024.

Public dollars should stay in public schools. NEw Voices strongly opposes legislation that takes away the opportunity for equitable access to a fully funded public education.
