John Skretta<\/span><\/p>

5905 O Street<\/span><\/p>

Lincoln, NE 68505<\/span><\/p>

District 28<\/span><\/p>

Proponent<\/span><\/p>

Representing:<\/span><\/p>

Lincoln Public Schools<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Chairperson Brewer and members of the Government, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee:<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The Lincoln Public Schools appreciates Senator Blood\u2019s proposal LR1CA, which proposes a Constitutional Amendment to prohibit the state from imposing additional programs or services or expanding the scope of existing programs or services without fully reimbursing cost of said programs to the political subdivisions tasked with carrying out said programming. Thus, LR1CA would prohibit the imposition of further unfunded mandates.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The LPS Board of Education annually adopted Legislative Guidelines that reflect the district\u2019s long held belief that program mandates must have sufficient resources to be operationalized or that they will inevitably compromise the efficacy of existing initiatives due to resource limitations. Specifically, in our third standing Legislative Guideline we assert that mandated state and\/or federal programs must have financial resources adequate to fund the requirement, or that they be optional for districts.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

We reiterate our proponent stance for LR1CA and thank the Committee for its consideration of this important measure.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
