NE LB282

Teachers in Nebraska K-12 schools (public, private, denominational, or parochial) may receive up to $300 in reimbursement for school supplies they personally purchased, beginning with the 2025-26 school year

Teachers must submit receipts and apply through the State Department of Education using prescribed forms to receive reimbursement

The State Board of Education is required to develop and publish a policy on the department's website specifying which types of school supplies qualify for reimbursement

The bill includes an emergency clause, meaning it takes effect immediately upon passage and approval rather than following the standard effective date
