Revisiting Nebraska's Private Education Sector
Kristof, John M.; Ritter, Colyn; Catt, Andrew D.
EdChoice
Nebraska does not currently have any private educational choice programs, but recent legislative pushes have brought options such as education savings accounts (ESAs) into the spotlight. ESAs allow parents to withdraw their children from public district or charter schools and receive a deposit of public funds into government-authorized savings accounts with restricted, but multiple, uses. The characteristics of Nebraska's private school sector can inform policy debates surrounding the potential creation of educational choice programs, such as ESAs. From March 31 to May 23 2022, EdChoice administered a survey of Nebraska private school leaders. This brief provides a descriptive analysis of the results of that survey, including tuition and fees, the number of open seats, regulatory concerns, and interest in educational choice programs.
