She also encouraged Board members to continue considering the unique realities of Nebraska’s smallest and most geographically isolated schools when developing policies, rules, and initiatives.
We are proud to make sure the voices of Hay Springs students, staff, families, and rural Nebraska are part of the statewide conversation.
