4. Board Goals:
The Lincoln Board of Education recognizes political activity in our democratic society as legitimate and necessary.  The Board will, at its discretion, take positions on political issues which are likely to affect the educational process, but not on noneducational political issues.  The Board intends that its positions on proposed legislation be effectively communicated to the Nebraska Legislature and other governmental entities.  The Board may also direct the Superintendent to prepare legislation for introduction on its behalf.  

The Lincoln Board of Education is committed to the principle of open, honest, responsible, two-way communication with its internal and external publics. In line with this commitment, the Board directs the Superintendent to conduct a comprehensive and on-going community engagement program.
