Prior Learning Act and Teacher Programs - LB937 Enrolled
Nebraska Legislative Events
Summary
Nebraska's 109th Legislature advanced LB937 to enrollment on April 7, 2026. The bill adopts the Prior Learning Act and modifies provisions relating to student transfers, school absences, option enrollment, extracurricular activities, teacher programs, and the College Pathway Program Act. The Education Committee-sponsored legislation passed with strong bipartisan support including a final 30-0 vote on the Murman AM3084 amendment.
What changed
LB937 is a comprehensive education bill that adopts the Prior Learning Act and makes numerous changes to student enrollment, transfer, and activity policies, while also creating or modifying several teacher workforce development programs including the Nebraska Teacher Apprenticeship Program and Teacher Recruitment and Retention Act. The bill advanced through the legislative process with multiple amendments adopted, including the final AM3084 amendment passed 30-0 on April 7, 2026.
Nebraska schools and districts should monitor LB937 for gubernatorial action, as the bill would require policy updates and new program development if signed into law. The teacher apprenticeship and recruitment provisions may create new compliance and administrative obligations for educational institutions and partnering employers.
What to do next
- Monitor for governor's action on LB937
- Review bill provisions for impact on existing school policies and programs
- Prepare implementation planning for new teacher apprenticeship and recruitment programs if signed into law
