A BILL FOR AN ACT relating to education; to allow a teacher employed at an approved or accredited public, private, denominational, or parochial school in this state to receive reimbursement for school supplies paid for by such teacher as prescribed; to provide powers and duties to the State Board of Education and the State Department of Education; and to declare an emergency.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a reimbursement program for teachers in Nebraska who purchase school supplies out of their own pocket. Starting with the 2025-26 school year, teachers employed at any approved or accredited public, private, denominational, or parochial school teaching kindergarten through twelfth grade can apply to the State Department of Education for up to $300 in reimbursement for school supplies. To receive the reimbursement, teachers must submit receipts for their purchases. The State Board of Education will be responsible for developing a policy that specifies which types of school supplies qualify for reimbursement and will have this policy available on their website. The board is also authorized to create rules and regulations to implement the reimbursement program. The bill includes an emergency clause, which means it will take effect immediately upon being passed and approved.
