        Discussion: 
Board President gave an update on the written petition to the Nebraska State School Board in conjunction with Nebraska Rule 62. The petition shall seek to address the numerous issues confronting Nebraska schools and ESUs related to the extraordinary circumstances created by the Covid-19 Pandemic. Such issues include, but are not limited to accreditation, operations, transportation, transitions, etc.  Commissioner requested this to be submit.  Commissioner was present to discuss this petition.  State Board can invite someone to submit a petition.  Secondly, this will help the Board to be more responsive.  Could possibly be asked to do this again this Fall to continue to address needs.  Discussed the timeline for this process.  Commissioner hopes to present this to the NDE Board at their meeting next week, the petition will need to be in by Wednesday.  If that isn't possibly submit by the beginning of June. The petition will address items yet to come.  This is a judicial action for the Board. As a regulatory body the NDE Board follow their own rules, this petition will guide their work to help make decisions prior to the deadlines.  Affidavits happen after the fact in order to waive actions.  By asking the ESUCC to submit this petition, the ESUCC involves all stakeholders as we bring everything forward for the entire state.
