Summary
The board authorized Superintendent Mark Fritch and Activities Director Mr. Thompson to apply to the NSAA to opt down to Class C-1 for the 2026–27 and 2027–28 cycles and to seek playoff-eligibility waiver, based on projected enrollment.
The Nebraska City Board of Education authorized district leaders to submit an application to the Nebraska School Activities Association to opt the football program down to Class C-1 for the 2026–27 and 2027–28 cycles and to apply for a waiver to remain eligible for playoffs.
The motion (Order #17419) was moved by Stacie Higgins and seconded by John Hodges and passed on a unanimous 9–0 vote. Superintendent Mark Fritch shared projected enrollment numbers for the next four years as the rationale for the request. The action authorizes Superintendent Fritch and Activities Director Mr. Thompson to file the application and seek any required waivers with NSAA.
The minutes do not include the specific enrollment figures or the waiver language; they note projected enrollment as the justification and record the board's authorization.
