Funding

How Nebraska funds schools

Nebraska distributes equalization aid through TEEOSA (the Tax Equity and Educational Opportunities Support Act), which calculates each district’s needs and subtracts local resources so state aid fills the gap. Since LB 583 (2023) every district also receives $1,500 per student in foundation aid plus special-education reimbursement, so even property-wealthy districts draw some state support.

District-level per-pupil spending and the local/state/federal revenue split for Bruning-Davenport Unified Sys School District are published in the federal school-finance files — see the full-data links below for the current figures.

Accountability
