The 2019-2020 school year presented a number of opportunities and challenges for Lincoln Public Schools.
After two years of working with groups of stakeholders, the Lincoln Board of Education passed a resolution on Dec. 10, 2019, calling for a special election asking voters to approve a $290 million bond issue to address building needs throughout the school district identified in the updated LPS 10-year Facility and Infrastructure Plan. On Feb. 11, 2020, Lincoln voters passed the Bond resolution by 62%.
We are so incredibly grateful to our community, and are humbled by their continued support. This is a community that embraces one another, embodies the power of public education, and sees the value in working together to provide opportunities for future generations.
After Spring Break in 2020, Lincoln Public Schools moved all students and staff to remote instruction after cases of COVID-19 were reported in Nebraska. Under a state-wide Directed Health Measure issued by the Governor in April, LPS finished the school year remotely.
