Gov. Jim Pillen is calling on Nebraska lawmakers to address “inconsistencies” in the state’s main school aid formula.

Pillen pointed to a new report from his policy research office that compiled property tax data for new state senators.

The governor noted that newly elected senators might not have a complete understanding of the state's funding formula.

Lawmakers will return with a 2025 proposal that will be smaller but still “take a little bite” out of reforming TEEOSA.

“The formula is inconsistent and hits taxpayers hard,” the policy research office report states.

The Legislature helped to increase aid to schools by doubling special education reimbursements from 40% of expenditures to 80% .
