Last night the Board of Education gave their unanimous consent to place a bond on the upcoming May 12th ballot. Speakers addressing the bond included parents, former parents and representatives of the Nebraska Taxpayers for Freedom. All spoke in favor of the bond. The bond is focused on district repairs and maintenance. The average age of Millard’s schools is 38 years old. All together, the district’s buildings are valued at an estimated $700 million dollars. To protect the community’s ongoing investment, the district is asking for a $125 million dollar bond. This would raise the levy approximately one cent. A cent of additional levy would cost an estimated $20 per year on a $200,000 home. The funds would support projects in six areas: safety and security, major renovations, capital equipment replacements, energy efficiency projects, summer maintenance projects and furniture replacements. All 35 schools will be impacted by the bond.

• Millard West Principal Greg Tiemann was named Administrator of the Year by the Nebraska Thespians.
  
• Millard West Soccer Coach Jacque Tevis-Butler has been named the Nebraska Girls Soccer Coach of the Year by the National Federation of State High School Associations.
