P-16 Activities

Report of Preschool through College (P-16)
A Response to Legislative Resolution 75 of the Nebraska Legislature 2005 Session.

These reports has been prepared in response to Legislative Resolution 75, adopted in the 2005 session of the Nebraska Legislature. LR 75 is a follow-up resolution to LR 174, adopted in the 2003 legislative session. The report of the special legislative committee established under LR 174 was issued in January 2004.

The LR 174 committee examined the role of Nebraska’s postsecondary institutions in the state’s economy, concluding that “increasing the number of Nebraskans with high levels of educational attainment is essential to support economic expansion and diversification…”

The committee developed the following priorities:

1. Increase the number of students who enter postsecondary education in Nebraska.
2. Increase the percentage of students who enroll and successfully persist through degree completion.
3. Reduce, eliminate, and then reverse the net out-migration of Nebraskans with high levels of educational attainment.

And, the committee noted that:

Unprecedented collaboration and cooperation among educational institutions and sectors will be necessary to develop community, regional and statewide strategies to achieve progress toward these priorities.

This statement amounts to a call for expanded and intensified P-16 (preschool through college) activities.
