LINCOLN, Neb. — Nebraska lawmakers have introduced a proposal (LB 497) to ensure the state provides resources to cover basic education costs for all of Nebraska’s K-12 public school students. Today, only 69 of Nebraska’s 244 school districts receive state equalization aid. The limited assistance has led to significant disparities in how Nebraska funds education for some students compared to others across the state.
