Summary
At a Sept. 22 special hearing, the Nebraska City Public Schools Board of Education discussed the proposed 2025–2026 tax request after a presentation by Superintendent Mark Fritch but did not vote on the levy; the meeting adjourned at 6:10 p.m.
The Nebraska City Public Schools Board of Education met in a special hearing Monday evening to review the district's proposed 2025–2026 tax request; Superintendent Mark Fritch led the discussion and answered board questions, but the board did not take a formal vote on the levy.
Board President Lisa Chaney called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. in the district central office boardroom. The clerk recorded eight members present and one absent (John Hodges). No members of the public addressed the board during the public comment period.
Superintendent Mark Fritch told the board the tax request was developed following the district's prior budget workshop and budget hearing; he also stated that the district has not attended the Joint Public Hearing since that hearing's inception. The minutes note the superintendent fielded board questions about how the request was determined, but they do not record any formal proposal, motion, or vote to adopt the tax request at this meeting.
The agenda and required public notices were posted in advance: the district posted notice on its website on Sept. 9, 2025, and the Nebraska City News Press published the notice on Sept. 12, 2025. The minutes also record compliance with the Nebraska Open Meetings Act (Nebr. Rev. Stat. Chapter 84, Article 1412(8)) and that a current copy of the Open Meetings Act was posted in the meeting room.
At 6:10 p.m., board member Kent Blum moved to adjourn; Sally Schreiner seconded and the motion passed with eight votes in favor and one member absent. The minutes were submitted by Superintendent Mark Fritch, listed as secretary.
