Shireen Siri said the district conducts a public hearing in January each year under the Americanism law and follows up with a public meeting as required; the July 10 presentation served that follow-up. Siri described the district’s “toolbox process” used to vet curricular resources for bias and cultural appropriateness, teacher involvement in curriculum selection, and specific programs that support required components such as English-language proficiency programming and Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS).

Siri said principals sign an annual statement attesting the school-level steps required by Rule 10 have been completed — for example, confirming observance of specified holidays and that the pledge of allegiance and related items are presented in the schools where required. The signed assurances will be placed on file in district records as part of the district’s compliance documentation.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","PLCS Board of Education Meeting July 10, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Administrators told the board they have completed the district’s annual Rule 10/‘Americanism’ follow-up: principals sign statements of assurance covering curriculum review, student surveys, English-language learner supports and PBIS.","taxTitle","Papillion La Vista Community Schools, School Districts, Nebraska","taxId",14256,"location","Nebraska","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6588973,"Board reviews instruction-series policy updates; district proposes new data-breach policy and eliminates district-run driver education",301,1851000,2152000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5488054-26ee6b21770ca9e14d979383096b93ea&start=1851&end=2152","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5488054-26ee6b21770ca9e14d979383096b93ea/thumbnail_1851000.jpg","/articles/6588973/Nebraska/Board-reviews-instruction-series-policy-updates-district-proposes-new-data-breach-policy-and-eliminates-district-run-driver-education","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6588973-6032cb66e9ec5d9f4d7d3e88e385399d/orig.mp4?Expires=1776762971&Signature=JDaRP5~EftDxpnilhNQOaKn3E115ra9cT9U3kW4mf18yt6x~nL40T0RrizzOWF7H-mpyBxUrDwyieVBKgsPC9licTRECJND6lQSOycrpIYGnXtl8x-TdN6DFvHqYb4JTakelZ16I~wAVdpjJdB1y2VjNJDvzpE29v70DY15FfFFTJGJaLiUo2KoYRyR-6bqx5sDRYpNncTzYrkbhFNWqPZgFiN8-A0UuQtmwkipAxvxqgpgNT9JOagihW0NQ5cJPkvoY6psNpGURPuUQvIKPGR0soX366uo5AokjmJO43qlhCZ3MRWh1pS8yANfOUSGkOJwmHcY-53vnLJRerqWbbQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Papillion La Vista Community Schools administrators presented proposed updates to the 6,000 series (instruction) policies at the board's July 10 meeting, reporting several modest revisions and a recommendation for a new data-breach policy.

Shireen Siri briefed the board on four notable policy changes in the packet: a small amendment linking parent-involvement language to the district’s student survey policy; a change to accreditation language to reflect the district’s most recent review by MBE (replacing a prior Cognia reference); elimination of a policy that governed district-run driver education (62 03), explained by the district's decision to contract driver education through ESU 3; and a new policy (6901) recommended by the district’s legal counsel that outlines steps the district will follow if a data breach occurs.

Siri said the new data-breach policy will be presented as a board policy first; the implementing procedure will be written by administration and shared after board adoption. “This is a new policy that was recommended by our attorneys in the area of a data breach,” Siri said, noting the district has previously experienced an incident and will capture lessons learned in procedures.

The board discussed the items but took no final vote on the new data-breach policy at the July 10 meeting; the presentation was framed as informational and preparatory for future action and procedure development.","During July 10 discussion, administrators presented changes to the 6,000 series of instruction policies including accreditation language updates, elimination of a district-run driver education policy and a proposed new data-breach policy to be adopted later with procedures to follow.",{"_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},6588978,"Board approves consent items, policy changes and handbooks; records excused absences",157,1483000,1640000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5488054-26ee6b21770ca9e14d979383096b93ea&start=1483&end=1640","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5488054-26ee6b21770ca9e14d979383096b93ea/thumbnail_1483000.jpg","/articles/6588978/Nebraska/Board-approves-consent-items-policy-changes-and-handbooks-records-excused-absences","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6588978-4e572d05cfbba6a248b012990d2dc4c3/orig.mp4?Expires=1776762971&Signature=YS-ULGcYHp2oGRqcbF4xpFSPbsyoEMXDfJWuE0aQbdkkJxnUYbQEokh9SuAFAqNmIBKrxU0Tq3lZlnGa-SBr1s-WeamAe8e7NC~7rmsIMZeO7Cry6iYGZAMzMyV0ZBLx~Sqf013JAEaj9RnCQvW8VeWzQjQTnzL58Od7y9AuAeI4ZByTOWk7TGojqxqTB4RilqXoygEqJOqMiW8-xNIiEFuGlcd4fVwOdt4g2479sNvQOHEHdEE3sJs1L0l5YdeobhYbbY1mmojhKbmogPCeu6vrUZPH1s7JIkN7KULL2HHr7cL7U~82NX-RAHw0D5uobcs4QqFqHMJS7YHYcnnyHw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At its July 10 meeting the Papillion La Vista Community Schools Board of Education approved routine consent items and adopted updates to the 5,000 policy series and the district student handbooks for 2025–26.

The hearing, held during the board's July 10 meeting, featured presentations from district administrators and a review of the student fee fund, waiver usage and specific fee changes for extracurricular and program fees.

Superintendent Dr. Rickley said fee waivers align with federal free-and-reduced lunch eligibility and encouraged eligible families to apply, noting the district’s waiver counts have risen. “The waivers basically represent students that qualify for subsidized lunch, and that is a definition... They’re established by the United States Department of Agriculture,” Rickley said.

Administrators reported the district collected about $887,000 in student-fee revenue (K–12) in the most recent year and maintains a cash reserve for the student fee account; the presentation listed a current reserve of about $161,000. The district noted fee waivers increased from 1,680 in the 2023–24 window to 1,911 in 2024–25.

Shireen Siri, who led the itemized presentation, summarized several line-item changes. “The first thing is we are going to increase the school owned instruments. Families paid $50 to use those. We’re gonna charge $75,” Siri said, citing increased maintenance and cleaning costs. Siri also outlined other program fees: ROTC uniform costs capped at $300; club/team shirts and similar items will not exceed $30; graduation cap and gown fees will be set at $65 for both high schools; and Advanced Placement test fees “will match with the College Board,” because the district does not control those test prices.

The district also noted some program charges are not district-operated. Officials said the ESU 3 driver education fee was raised (cited in materials as roughly $4.50 to $4.75) but that ESU 3’s program is provided through a regional education service unit and is not a district-managed program; many students also choose private providers for driver instruction.

On meal pricing, administrators said the district has raised breakfast and lunch prices by a nickel and tries to keep those prices comparable with nearby districts. Rickley said commodity costs drive price pressure for some menu items such as milk and bread.

Administrators said families who qualify for fee waivers because they meet federal free-and-reduced lunch thresholds should file the application because the status affects both students’ access to waivers and district eligibility for certain federal reimbursements.

The student fees hearing closed at 6:13 p.m. with no public comments. No formal vote was required at the hearing; the board moved on to its regular meeting agenda.","At its July 10 student fees hearing, Papillion La Vista Community Schools administrators presented fee changes for 2025–26 including a 5-cent rise in student meal prices, higher charges for school-owned instruments and program-specific fees; district officials also reviewed fee-waiver counts and the student fee fund balance.","actionData","errors"]
