District facilities staff said they received four bids and recommended proceeding with the lowest responsive bid, which they described as a little over $500,000 from Dickey Hines. The renovation will relocate CLC offices currently housed at Roper Elementary and provide a more permanent district-owned location, staff said.

A board member moved approval of agenda item 9.2.2 and members agreed to waive second reading. During discussion members noted the location is central and near Lincoln High School. The board approved the motion by roll call; one board member was recorded excused.

The board recorded no additional amendments to the project at the meeting; district staff will proceed with contract administration and project scheduling under the approved bid.","The board approved a low bid to renovate space at the Bottlers Building (20 Fifth and Randolph) to house Community Learning Center offices, with the lowest bid a little over $500,000 from Dickey Hines; the board waived second reading and approved the contract by roll call.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6537543,"Lincoln Public Schools prepares application to DOJ COPS school violence prevention grant focused on training alongside Lincoln Police",247,1142000,1389000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3528081-b94b467485c6f40f1dc1e37259b63c50&start=1142&end=1389","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3528081-b94b467485c6f40f1dc1e37259b63c50/thumbnail_1142000.jpg","/articles/6537543/Nebraska/Lincoln-Public-Schools-prepares-application-to-DOJ-COPS-school-violence-prevention-grant-focused-on-training-alongside-Lincoln-Police","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6537543-58e712d01e2a9f76fa0d566ceb6a8b09/orig.mp4?Expires=1771222451&Signature=el3NWwW4FcW0X520u~dD7gL-HWCjw4cFvPs64DNVLXX3tWoZZnWnGAKAoQc1-AfwbjeF17cn2SnINKUer-XXVqDQBnpIlMeeZvgF1DNIfG~NfuBRbqejoY9D~q7M7klnrhGPYtkkA7IdOo2c2eGE0DOEYbrW2uQJkcrpoeeIJWY0c3PZQhEr7bIWtezlnnB7H4l4CkEZpwLor0gh~DILrW1onLi6C~iSQbwPRXuo352x00T-gM4VuT0ONaBPbGNvWFrUtOoNri-s4dg9eGS69LtLixnkHeMEHqkCfrUMjDj3On-qZ9jv2cJkWloP-pju8WdJNIdrW3qfRZmXZsbIkg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Lincoln Public Schools staff said the district will submit an application to the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) within the U.S. Department of Justice for the School Violence Prevention Program. The district presentation emphasized that this proposal would focus on joint professional learning and training between LPS threat assessment staff and Lincoln Police Department personnel rather than equipment purchases.

Mike, the district presenter, told the board the district has used prior COPS funds to update radio equipment but said this application is intended to expand co-training opportunities under the existing Safe and Successful Kids interlocal agreement with Lincoln Police. \"These training opportunities allow school administrators and our threat assessment team to go to training along with school resource officers from the Lincoln Police Department,\" he said during the board discussion.

Staff said the grant requires a 25% match. District officials told the board no new district funds would be required because designated professional learning funds would be used as the match. Joe Wright, LPS director of security, and Dr. Pedroza, director of federal programs, were present to answer questions.

Board members asked whether the match would be cash or in kind; staff replied the match would come from the security office's training budget. Board members also asked whether training would be shared back across the district; staff described existing local training channels including a Region 5 program called Beta and said the chief had expressed interest in sending Special Victims Unit detectives and victim-witness advocates to training if funding allowed.

The board did not take a vote on the application at the May 27 meeting; staff said the grant proposal will return to the board at a later meeting for formal action.","LPS staff told the board they plan to apply to the U.S. Department of Justice COPS school violence prevention grant to expand joint training for school threat assessment teams and Lincoln Police, with a 25% local match to be met from existing professional learning funds.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6537547,"Lincoln Public Schools and Food Bank recognized after raising more than $400,000 for student food programs",178,840000,1018000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3528081-b94b467485c6f40f1dc1e37259b63c50&start=840&end=1018","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3528081-b94b467485c6f40f1dc1e37259b63c50/thumbnail_840000.jpg","/articles/6537547/Nebraska/Lincoln-Public-Schools-and-Food-Bank-recognized-after-raising-more-than-400000-for-student-food-programs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6537547-14606eac76d137534fa291d24118b82d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771222451&Signature=fWHUfC55~DCXAZEkPYYHmCOZyigJkoNddf7wLI2omDJGkmipD7A96k~eYZpKgszWC5dWXZ4mUCWrXIn3RrasTW4ex9CIepEYAm5OpWhL7dmewEjqaF9~WTM~iL6G1Zuwm~xBCQXDYCSqaMXfyLU8vSILuPlDabPgtSerncKFt0jBXSlFZJvDCJG-r6dHBDI7IWPacI0ctY94r9Ukd7RKh0JiuLC1gclJkhcwSRGUF8r5IjTP53nqDtc0n1T4Ih5UkVS7VT0stI7ALpQeD9MM6Bw4c8KHx5Th9a4P79go~waATnA~5zKDa9pYoT0-zo2B4siQcMpOObccVJqbbBpkQg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Lincoln Public Schools and the Food Bank of Lincoln on May 27 described this year’s Extra Mile Walk fundraising effort and recognized top fundraising schools; the district said the campaign and a foundation gift produced more than $400,000 to support student food programs.

District presenters told the board that staff and students raised about $200,000 during February–April events and that the Ackley Charitable Foundation donated an additional $200,000, bringing the total to more than $400,000 for the year. Board members and staff credited school captains, volunteers and partners for the result.

John Mabry of the Food Bank of Lincoln thanked the district for its partnership and noted the personal work of Food Bank staff in picking up donations. The district presentation named top fundraisers by level: Maxey Elementary raised more than $9,400 (top at the elementary/district level), Pound Middle School raised about $3,300 at the middle level, Standing Bear High School raised about $1,100 at the high school level, and the Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment team raised more than $3,600 at the district office level. Team captains named in the presentation were Amy Demma (Maxey), Sarah Parkening (Pound), Angela Christianson Fisher (Standing Bear) and JJ Dugdale (Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment).

Board members asked how fundraising translated into food items; district staff said roughly $10 buys one backpack, which would equate to approximately 40,000 backpacks if all funds were spent on backpacks — the district described that as a rough estimate.

The board publicly thanked organizers and partners, including volunteer April Douglas and industry partner Duncan Aviation, and heard that memorial gifts in memory of Lanny Boswell and Greg Tebow helped reach the goal. No formal vote or appropriation was recorded; the item was a recognition and update to the board.","LPS officials and the Food Bank of Lincoln reported that the district’s Extra Mile Walk fundraising and a donation from the Ackley Charitable Foundation together generated over $400,000 to support backpack and school food market programs.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6537552,"Lincoln Board congratulates Amanda Woodward as 2025 Nebraska SkillsUSA Advisor of the Year",347,460000,807000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3528081-b94b467485c6f40f1dc1e37259b63c50&start=460&end=807","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3528081-b94b467485c6f40f1dc1e37259b63c50/thumbnail_460000.jpg","/articles/6537552/Nebraska/Lincoln-Board-congratulates-Amanda-Woodward-as-2025-Nebraska-SkillsUSA-Advisor-of-the-Year","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6537552-6bc8d60842aad16485a4bb6c0acd090c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771222451&Signature=kfVDFp2Y1Y8B5QarWpfAjMCDJgxCc7FWSIZRg8GqqqHsBHzRmwY37oq-FbuwZTVFO0OJspg1kfGr7huyn0BHQoHNR61wwiGkgJlUjflOzgmT7aoAxQ6bb-tcW~EXvt5GepZNrOT9xvZpfzMnz2H9CTuTgRV1s7j5qJJp57XsxtdJNgkoP3R7plQWit1nt2M-UGyqoLCYrbauFnjgJ2A7x5y9fDnkPwhp5BrRO5Bd8i7w-ow6jrCWGaWyGNc1sS2UsHHnTmFrN6Ip5fUkwNqGnlI4sSaVDgCcEVChR~0I7qkj4hqIDR2qOHuhypwrgiqLePPOQXqEOWi9-~B5aTirZw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lincoln Board of Education on May 27 adopted a resolution congratulating Amanda Woodward after she was named the 2025 Nebraska SkillsUSA Advisor of the Year.

The resolution, read into the record and moved by a board member, said Woodward “inspires students to pursue their passion in skilled and technical trades” and recognized her statewide and national reputation. The resolution was signed by Board President Bob Browner and interim superintendent of schools John Scruretta and was approved by roll call.

Woodward, who accepted the honor at the board meeting, described SkillsUSA as more than competition: “It’s where career readiness meets leadership, where students learn how to own a mistake, to advocate for themselves, and to lead with integrity.” She told the board her chapter earned a gold Chapter of Excellence award for the first time in over 20 years and that she will take seven students to the national SkillsUSA competition in Atlanta this June.

In her remarks Woodward thanked Lincoln Public Schools staff, her family and industry partners including Duncan Aviation for real-world partnerships that she said expanded students’ opportunities. She also credited students’ persistence: “This year’s success … stands on the shoulders of those students, the students past, the students present, who put in the work.”

The board offered additional verbal thanks and recorded a unanimous roll-call vote in favor of the resolution. No follow-up action was required beyond the formal recognition.","The Lincoln Board of Education passed a resolution honoring Amanda Woodward after she was named the 2025 Nebraska SkillsUSA Advisor of the Year.
