May 11, 2026 at 7:30 PM - Regular Board of Education Meeting

Rationale:  I would like to celebrate the excellence of our graduating class and our retirees this month.

The Class of 2026 occupies a unique place in history, defined by a resilience forged long before they reached high school. As elementary students, they witnessed the devastating Flood of 2019, seeing their North Bend community rally together to rebuild from the water and ice that reshaped their landscape. That early lesson in local grit served as a precursor to their secondary journey, where they navigated a global pandemic that redefined the classroom and demanded a mastery of digital adaptability. From sandbags and sirens to the isolation of remote screens, these seniors have spent their formative years turning disruption into a foundation of strength. They graduate not just as students, but as a cohort that has proven it can weather any storm, emerging with a perspective and a perseverance that is uniquely North Bend Central.

Our retirees, Suzy and Robin, have a combined _____ years serving NBCPS.  Their commitment to students is apparent each and every day, and they are rarely seen without a smile on their faces.  North Bend Central has been fortunate to have both of these educators work with our students and staff over the years.  Thanks Suzy and Robin!

Rationale:  Please complete the sign-in sheet prior to the meeting.  A time limit of five minutes per individual is allowed and not more than twenty minutes per specific topic unless a majority of the Board Members present vote to extend the time limit.  No action will be taken on subjects that are not on the agenda.  No complaints shall orally be initiated against individual district employees or instructional materials used in the district.  The following expectations will also be utilized:

• Chain of Command: While the Board welcomes all comments, members of the public are reminded that the Chain of Command policy (3035) is required for resolving specific concerns. Issues not on the agenda should be addressed with the appropriate teacher, principal, and the Superintendent before being brought to the Board.

• Board Response: In accordance with the Nebraska Open Meetings Act, Board members will not engage in dialogue or respond to comments made during this period. The Board’s role is to listen; any necessary follow-up will be directed to the Superintendent.

• Decorum and Staff Privacy: The Board expects all speakers to maintain professional decorum. To protect the due process and privacy rights of district employees, offensive language, hostile conduct, or abusive behavior against specific staff members will not be tolerated. Any individual engaging in such behavior will be asked to stop and, if the disruption continues, may be asked to leave the meeting.
