Nebraska should pay a larger share of K-12 school costs to reduce local property taxes.
Nebraska schools rely heavily on local property taxes, with state aid set by the TEEOSA formula. A larger state share would lower property taxes and require more state revenue.
Lynne Walz
When TEEOSA was created, 20% of the state’s income taxes were dedicated to fund public schools. Today it’s 2.23%. This means fewer community schools receive their fair share of state support and property taxes have shot up.
