The Hot Sheets: March 4th, 2025

Paul Hammel <a href="https://nebraskaexaminer.com/2025/03/03/students-educators-tout-benefits-of-funding-dual-enrollment-classes-in-high-school/">Nebraska Examiner</a>

LINCOLN – Soon after beginning her studies at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, McKenzie Murphy, then 19, applied for a part-time job.

She had graduated from high school only a few months earlier, but Murphy’s application also read “graduate, associates degree, Northeast Community College.”

Her interviewer didn’t believe that someone so young could have a two-year college degree.

“Oh my gosh, when did you graduate?” Murphy was asked.

In May of 2023, Murphy received her diploma from Bancroft-Rosalie High School. But because she had participated in a state dual enrollment program, she also earned a college degree by taking college-level classes while in high school — classes that came with both college and high school credits.

During her last semester of high school, Murphy took 21 credit hours of such dual enrollment classes, completing a lot of general education courses normally taken at colleges or universities, but also learning about investing.

This year, more than 20,000 Nebraska high school students at more than 200 schools across the state are taking dual enrollment classes, with hundreds each year, like Murphy, graduating with two diplomas when they finish high school.

Students, including those home-schooled or in private schools, get discounted tuition when taking the classes. In two areas of the state, tuition and books are free, those served by Omaha-based Metropolitan Community College and Norfolk-centered Northeast Community College.

But the future affordability of the program for families statewide is being threatened by a reduction in funding.

The $5 million a year from the federal pandemic-related American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) is going away, leaving only $3 million a year in state funding remaining.

On Thursday, several administrators of community colleges and Nebraska high schools joined a student and a representative of the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce and Industry in testifying in favor of state legislation to keep the program affordable for high school students and their families. It would provide an additional $21 million over the next two years to continue.

Supporters of the additional funding praised the program as jump-starting student higher education, which they said leads to higher rates of college enrollment and earlier graduation. It also gets students into the workforce sooner, in high-need jobs like welding, teaching and health care, and is a proven way to reverse the “brain drain” exodus of educated young people from Nebraska.

“This maybe has been the most successful higher education partnership with K-12 education and business in all my years in education,” said Randy Schmailzl, the long-time president of Metropolitan Community College, which had nearly 9,000 dual enrollment students this year.

Mark Shepard, the superintendent of Fremont Public Schools, said the program had helped boost a local career and technical education program that has trained 200 student welders over the past nine years. Seventy of those trained are now working in well-paying, high-demand jobs in the state, he said.

“We view these programs as a true game changer for our state,” Shepard said of the technical training offered in Fremont through dual enrollment.

Murphy, whose family lives in Walthill, said she could not have taken the classes she did if she had been required to pay full tuition, which is $108 per credit hour at Northeast Community College.

At her high school, students have taken 790 credit hours of tuition-free dual enrollment classes this year with eight of the 18 members of the senior class on track to graduate with community college associate degrees, according to Jon Cerny, superintendent at Bancroft-Rosalie.

At Millard Public Schools, 2,200 students took dual enrollment classes last year, earning 26,000 credits. Superintendent John Schwartz said that added up to just short of $2 million in tuition that families didn’t have to pay.

The result, the two educators told members of the Legislature’s Appropriations Committee, is that students complete college sooner and with less debt, and are able to graduate earlier and join the Nebraska workforce.

“It’s hard to find a better program that supports young people and our economy,” said Michael Johnson of the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce, who called the state’s shortage of workers “the number-one barrier to economic growth in the state.”

“This program presents a win-win-win opportunity for all of us,” said State Sen. Jason Prokop of Lincoln.

His proposal, Legislative Bill 173, would provide $10 million for the dual enrollment program in 2025-26 and $11 million the following year.

Prokop said it exceeds the $5 million a year in ARPA funds that are going away because that money hasn’t covered all costs of the program, which are nearing $20 million a year. He said funding also hasn’t kept up with the 65% increase in students taking the courses.

“This program produces a pipeline of skilled labor that Nebraska employers desperately need,” the senator told the committee.

LB 173 wasn’t included in the preliminary budget recommendations of the Appropriations Committee, which is now taking testimony on its proposed budget. Senators are seeking to close a budget gap, leaving little funding for new spending.

Omaha State Sen. Christy Armendariz, a member of the committee, praised the program. But more than once, she asked whether other funds — rather than state taxpayer money — might be found to finance the dual enrollment program, or whether it could be more focused on families who could not afford to pay the tuition.

An official with Northeast Community College said that institution doesn’t have the funds to continue to offer free tuition on its own, and would have to start charging students. Schmailzl said that when Metro used to offer the classes at 50% of full tuition, it “cut a lot of people out.”

Shepard, the Fremont superintendent, said that 40 some businesses have contributed to the vocational programs in his district, but that ending free tuition, or having students fill out a waiver to get a tuition break, would present barriers.

The Appropriations Committee took no action on the bill after the public hearing on Thursday. It received 70 online comments in support of the bill and no opposition.

Murphy, the UNO student, wasn’t able to attend the public hearing. She’s working three part-time jobs as she pursues her pre-medicine degree in hopes of eventually becoming an ophthalmologist.

Besides saving money and getting a jump start on her university studies, she said dual enrollment and the rigors of college classes forced her to get more organized. She made a daily list of what she needed to get done each day.

“When you see someone who graduates with an associate degree, they realize that’s a hard-working person, Murphy said.

 </figure>Visit NebraskaLINCOLN, Neb. – (March 3, 2025) –&nbsp;VIsit Nebraska is excited to announce the stops included in the 2025 Nebraska Passport program. The Passport inspires Nebraskans and tourists to travel throughout the state collecting stamps to earn prizes while also supporting Nebraska's tourism destinations and local businesses."Year after year, Nebraskans and more and more out-of-state travelers alike use the Nebraska Passport as their guide to discovering what our state has to offer," said John Ricks, Visit Nebraska executive director. "We are excited to once again connect visitors to these gems and the communities where they thrive."The Passport will again feature 70 stops organized into 10 themed tours. Travelers will have from May 1 through September 30 to visit the attractions and collect their stamps.Passporters can expect to find all sorts of new and unique destinations during their travels this year. Highlights include female-owned businesses, historic treasures, delicious eats and a tour dedicated to showcasing Nebraska's thriving Creative Districts.“Whether you are a longtime Passporter or just picking up a booklet for the first time, there is so much to see and do this year,” said Madison Johnson, Nebraska Passport program coordinator. “We’re guessing many travelers will find something they haven’t seen before with these 70 stops, and there is something everyone will enjoy."Passports will be available at participating stops starting May 1 or can be pre-ordered at&nbsp;<a href="https://visitnebraska.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=30cc1cad235a879fac111c22b&amp;id=d9afb07c66&amp;e=65d6a9d786" target="_blank">NebraskaPassport.com</a>.

<a href="https://nebraskaexaminer.com/briefs/nebraska-ded-awards-414k-to-groups-for-recruiting-out-of-state-talent/">Nebraska Examiner</a>

LINCOLN — A total of $414,706 in awards will go to Nebraska organizations to recruit talent as part of the state’s “Good Life is Calling” campaign.

The Nebraska Department of Economic Development, in announcing winning proposals Thursday, said it launched&nbsp;<a href="https://thegoodlifeiscalling.com/" target="_blank">the campaign</a>&nbsp;in 2021 to promote the state’s quality of life and career opportunities.&nbsp;

Last year, the Legislature approved Gov. Jim Pillen’s funding request to carry out the next phase, designed as a more targeted recruitment of out-of-state talent. Winning proposals, which range from local governments to businesses, are to provide matching funds.

DED Director K.C. Belitz, in a news release, said his agency is excited to partner with organizations statewide on initiatives to “promote the Good Life.”&nbsp;

“Nebraska’s employers are looking to hire, and communities have plenty of career opportunities to offer,” he said.

Columbus, Neb. –&nbsp;Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) will be contracting with Osmose Utility Services to conduct inspections on the distribution, subtransmission, and transmission system across the state.

The inspections will begin in March and last through June. This process will include wood pole inspections as well as ground line excavation, inspection, and rehabilitation treatment. Communities where distribution system inspections will take place include Gordon, Bassett, Scottsbluff, York, Ogallala, Norfolk, and Paxton.

“The inspection program is a proactive approach to finding poles with decay so that they can be replaced or repaired before the poles fail,” says NPPD Senior Project Coordinator Doug Meyers. “These inspections are an important part of our process to maintain our system, and we want customers to be aware of what’s going on as crews begin to head out across the state.”

Crews will be dressed in high-visibility vests and will be traveling from pole to pole in a UTV to conduct inspections. In addition, NPPD line crews will be using helicopters and vehicles to patrol all NPPD transmission lines.

Anyone who has questions relating to this activity, please&nbsp;

The Hot Sheets: February 28th, 2025

February 27, 2025 (OMAHA, Neb.)&nbsp;&nbsp;— Troopers with the Nebraska State Patrol were joined by law enforcement officers from all corners of the country in honoring Trooper Kyle McAcy #302, who gave his life in the line of duty on February 17, 2025.

“On behalf of the state of Nebraska, I simply want to say thank you for sharing your hero with the people of our great state,” said Governor Jim Pillen, addressing Trooper McAcy’s family at the funeral service. “I am incredibly proud of him for how he represented our state.”

Trooper McAcy joined the Nebraska State Patrol in 2014 as part of the 56th&nbsp;Basic Recruit Class, graduating on May 1, 2015. He began his career in North Platte, working as a part of the Carrier Enforcement Division. From there, he transferred home to Omaha, continuing his work with commercial vehicle enforcement.

 In 2022, Trooper McAcy joined the Troop A Patrol Division where he worked to keep roadways safe and help those in need across the Omaha metro and surrounding counties. At every stage of his career, Trooper McAcy brought joy and laughter to everyone around him.

“If you didn’t know Kyle, let me give you a little glimpse of Kyle, the trooper. He loved his job. He was an extravert, and he loved people.” said Colonel John Bolduc, Superintendent of the Nebraska State Patrol. “If you tried to keep pace with his hunger for work or conversation, you would finish a tired second place.”

Hundreds of law enforcement officers from around Nebraska and the entire nation attended today’s service, including troopers from more than 20 states.

Trooper McAcy is survived by his parents Teresa and Kevin McAcy; brother Collin (Briana) McAcy; sister Bethany McAcy (Garrett Perry); and fiancé Spencer Ryan. He is preceded in death by both sets of grandparents.

The Nebraska State Patrol will continue Trooper McAcy’s legacy by joining his family in asking, “What would Kyle do?” Trooper McAcy served the state of Nebraska with a passion for service and a love for all who crossed his path. The Nebraska State Patrol wishes to extend gratitude to all who have sent support to his family, friends, and colleagues after this tragic loss.

The Custer Complex Fire started on Monday and now consists of three active fires. The Schaffer Road Fire started on Tuesday and is located southeast of Chadron.
