Foundation representatives said the foundation has committed $5 million to the project and reported verbal commitments totaling another $2 million, leaving $3 million to be raised in the campaign. The timeline shared at the meeting calls for the campaign to run about three years, with a hoped-for groundbreaking in fall 2026 and a possible grand opening in 2028.

The district-level facility plan described at the meeting would centralize several foundation programs now spread across sites: a larger home for the Community Closet with customer-facing shopping and back-of-house sorting and laundering; headquarters and expanded space for Kids Club administration; and a training and event center for district and community use. Foundation presenters said the site will sit adjacent to the district central office and will be designed to complement nearby city-park renovations.

On program numbers, the foundation reported Kids Club daily enrollment at about 1,245 for the current school year (an increase from prior snapshots). Summer Kids Club enrollment was about 790, and the program employed roughly 100 current or graduated Papillion-La Vista high school students during the summer. Foundation staff said some sites had wait lists: Prairie Queen and Ashbury had been 15\u0012to\u001220 families on the wait list but recent busing changes reduced those lists to about five families each. The foundation said it had to cap summer Kids Club enrollment at some sites because of construction constraints.

The foundation also highlighted annual activities and funding: about $120,000 budgeted for teacher grants last year (requests totaled about $150,000\u0012$170,000), more than 70 senior scholarships awarded last year, an Anders Food Fund and student emergency funds that support basic needs, and proceeds from a recent soiree that raised approximately $165,000. Foundation leaders said the community engagement center is intended to help scale those services as the district's enrollment grows.

Board members thanked foundation leaders and noted teacher grants and scholarships as signature services the foundation provides.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","PLCS Board of Education Meeting August 25, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Papillion La Vista School Foundation told the school board Aug. 25 it has launched a $10 million campaign to build a community engagement center and reported growth in its Kids Club and fundraising programs.","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},6491901,"Military adviser urges families to complete impact-aid forms; announces community outreach events",129,352000,481000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5671281-d958c2c515eeec756798aa5b8e8f0253&start=352&end=481","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5671281-d958c2c515eeec756798aa5b8e8f0253/thumbnail_352000.jpg","/articles/6491901/Nebraska/Military-adviser-urges-families-to-complete-impact-aid-forms-announces-community-outreach-events","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6491901-0579079d228e7a19922424eb4b70c570/orig.mp4?Expires=1775128509&Signature=LPJ6JyZOvOxWiCuCM1KRTnVP0epxYPqll1zPkLr3G7q2k75kL9~J4HcJSovImNZUa-7dA2AwQOT2-R4qz8SsQSEM6YQZQLBWEdPXCdYpbaS4YA7BUBYvbyC-PcCInZqkC83-h2D0zr9zzZ~g90KbQ-rUdXXtT7~Q1uP37KeQDJZpqj1a9STukT63-Z7eDnUyHgIscgqLeGn-~d9kN69yF5QdiOszdWeR3kVttXD4cI8ZR8S8B9IOx4DyKIKOscGZZKJsHBqtqoKdrVNzJApZ2w4rJlEekZUA4k43Wo1vsU3HiWKeW36rXhC6ypeG8M7exk~e-sM6pdb0qd9p-WF8hg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Anderson, the Papillion La Vista Community Schools military adviser, updated the board on military-related outreach and assistance at the Aug. 25 meeting.

Anderson asked district staff to emphasize impact-aid paperwork with families and principals, saying a district-wide push will begin to ensure eligible students are counted and the district receives related federal funding. He urged principals to run rosters and coordinate with school liaisons so families receive messaging about impact-aid eligibility.

Anderson also described collaboration between school liaison officers, the Exceptional Family Member Program, the Military and Family Readiness Center, and PTI Nebraska on a \"Getting Organized\" workshop designed to help military families navigate Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), 504 plans, parental rights and strategies for resolving disagreements during transitions in and out of the district. He invited the board and public to an end-of-summer community event at Base Lake where the military will host giveaways and community activities.

Anderson concluded by asking whether there were questions and noted this was his communications update for the meeting.","Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Anderson reminded the board Aug. 25 to prioritize impact-aid form completion and described planned support for military families navigating special-education processes.",{"_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},6491905,"Early enrollment: Papillion La Vista reports K-12 up 84, total preK-12 up 48 to 12,117; paraprofessionals remain highest staffing need",145,1805000,1950000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5671281-d958c2c515eeec756798aa5b8e8f0253&start=1805&end=1950","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5671281-d958c2c515eeec756798aa5b8e8f0253/thumbnail_1805000.jpg","/articles/6491905/Nebraska/Early-enrollment-Papillion-La-Vista-reports-K-12-up-84-total-preK-12-up-48-to-12117-paraprofessionals-remain-highest-staffing-need","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6491905-42d1f7528d078263e08a3c240a87b483/orig.mp4?Expires=1775128509&Signature=fd-yKRhD67WJ9bhsF0U2IU-FWiPUw9INdJpXxewp9wCp-86eh05rlC2f76ZV97HAy06r81GdtBoEaWn23jtwxGK~hQHHfMyisgdrSiZMK04uoZg89tShKUGh9Pw9LZ8-6n-QJs5kHrArDzyL8XTPBL9gjyY6bbPg9bGabmycGUXbTxPuktNA8-5VWveyK9mWjQ9GJ8lnum5NZBQj4NWjy~zqXY6XkxhAQytGQpb0oYmxqdC8nM~j~tozcq2MwnPfIUPWhOO5J5p1Op4HDVXgcefxNYNK2Whu8XSgl5gaSqsH3qTpINLgaUUSEoXcDos6R6o5mFr~cN6q085gm5aHcw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Papillion La Vista Community Schools reported an early fall enrollment snapshot Aug. 25 showing growth across K-12 and some shifting in preschool counts.

Deputy superintendent for assessment and operations (presenter) said the district is up about 48 students districtwide (preschool through grade 12) compared with last year's Oct. 1 official count, putting total enrollment at 12,117. Looking at K-12 only, the district is up roughly 84 students. Preschool enrollment is down about 36 at this early stage, which presenters described as typical because preschool enrollment often grows through the year.

Staffing updates included use of three available \"growth\" positions this summer to respond to higher primary-grade enrollments; special-education growth positions were not used yet. The district reported it did not fill one school psychologist position and a 0.4 special-education teacher position, and that it contracted for a speech-language pathologist at the secondary level and contracted for one of the school psychologist positions. District staff said the greatest area of recruitment need remains paraprofessionals, a staffing group heavily used in classrooms.

Officials reminded the public that Oct. 1 is the state's official count date; the district will return with finalized figures after October's cleanup.","Chief of schools reported the district is up about 84 students K-12 and up 48 preschool through 12th grade (total 12,117) compared with last year's Oct. 1 counts; preschool is down 36 (typical early-year pattern).

Presenters said the advisory group, which included students, administrators, teachers, board members, parents and business partners, used the Cambridge model and produced two broad thematic goal areas: \"Perseverance to Purpose,\" emphasizing rigorous academics, planned pathways, expanded AP and academy opportunities, internships and capstone projects; and \"Breaking Barriers,\" emphasizing engagement for all students, continuation of mental-health supports, attendance, social-emotional learning, behavior supports, family engagement and staff recruitment and retention.

Staff outlined next steps: forming diverse action teams (including students, parents, teachers, administrators and business partners), training team leaders in the Cambridge model, and returning to the board after the September retreat with any recommended changes to the mission and belief statements and the goal-and-action plans no later than October.

Board members who spoke at the meeting applauded the stakeholder representation and asked whether career and trade pathways were included; staff confirmed trades and academy opportunities were part of the pathway discussions. Presenters noted the process retained priorities from the previous five-year plan (mental health supports, academic rigor, and recruitment/retention) while adding a stronger emphasis on pathways and broader engagement.","District staff reported results from a June community advisory council and outlined two priority goal areas — \u0018Perseverance to Purpose' (rigor and planned pathways) and \u0018Breaking Barriers' (engagement and access).

Board members approved a purchase agreement for the land, described by district staff as a parcel the district does not plan to use, with Foundations Development LLC. The board designated the assistant superintendent of business services to sign and execute the agreement and any related documents on behalf of the district.

The board also approved a resolution, read aloud during the meeting, that cites Nebraska Revised Statute 79-3403 and 79-3405 and authorizes the board by at least a 70% affirmative vote to increase the base growth percentage used to set the district's property tax request authority. The resolution adopted on Aug. 25 limits the increase in the district's property tax request authority for the 2025-26 budget to up to 3%.

District staff told the board the request to increase the base growth percentage responds to several budget pressures for 2025-26, including an estimated $550,000 reduction in federal Title I funding, a projected 4% increase in labor costs, the addition of a new school resource officer sergeant position, higher transportation costs, expansion of tier-3 alternative school programming, new bus routes, costs associated with a young adult transition program building, and the planned opening of a new elementary school in August 2026. Superintendent remarks at the meeting said the board's goal when finalizing the budget will be to reduce the levy and that staff will present a firm budget in the coming weeks.

Both motions passed on roll call votes with each board member recorded as \"yes.\" Motion language and roll-call records are included below.
