The Board of Education Approves The Next Strategic Plan
Three New Strategies for the Next Five Years
The Board approved the new strategic plan last night, culminating a six month collaboration of students, staff, parents and community members. The strategic plan is rewritten by the Millard community every five years and gives the district its focus and direction. Learn about the district's three new strategies by visiting our website here, mpsomaha.org/about/strategic-planning, and by watching the video below.
Ballots For Special Election Arriving This Month
Ballots for Millard Public School’s special election will be arriving in all Millard mailboxes in mid-February. The district is asking voters to continue the levy override authority that has been in place since 2018. Nebraska law requires voters to approve levy overrides every five years. Millard’s override has provided stability, and without it, reductions would most likely be necessary in both people and programs. Learn more about the levy override and this election here: mpsomaha.org/about/millards-levy-override
