Information Item
Rationale:
2026 POLICY UPDATES from Perry Law Firm
Over the past several years, the Nebraska Legislature enacted several measures that will take effect during the 2026-2027 school year. Please review as we will take action at our next board meeting. 1. Policy 1040 - Annual Report. Neb. Rev. Stat. § 79-3305 now requires an annual "computer science and technology education status report" to the School Board. The deadline to complete the first report is December 1, 2026. 2. Policy 3540 - Bidding Construction Projects. Neb. Rev. Stat. § 81-3445 requires the State Board of Engineers and Architects to adjust the threshold for architects or engineers onconstruction projects. The Board adjusted this amount to $144,000, which is now reflected in Policy 3540. 3. Policy 5601 - Asthma, Anaphylaxis and Allergic Reaction Protocol. Neb. Rev.Stat. § 79-227 requires each Board to adopt an anaphylaxis policy by July 1, 2026. The anaphylaxis policy must also be included in the Student Handbook, beginning in the 2026-2027 school year. In addition, DHHS issued a new guidance document for anaphylaxis that does not need to be adopted into Board Policy but can be shared with your staff. 4. Policy 7050 - Bids and Contracts. Neb. Rev. Stat. § 73-106 requires the State Board of Education to adjust the bidding threshold once every five years. The State Board adjusted this amount to $136,000, which is now reflected in Policy 7050.
