A Nebraska funding error overpaid Omaha schools by $30M, leading to a $61M cut in 2026–2027 state aid.
A Nebraska Department of Education calculation error overpaid Omaha Public Schools by at least $30 million due to a flaw in the TEEOSA funding formula, while other districts received less than they should have.
The error, found during an audit, has been corrected for the 2025–2026 school year, but will result in a $61 million reduction in OPS’s state aid for 2026–2027.
The overpayment helped lower property taxes by about 11 cents in 2024–2025.
Meanwhile, the state’s School Finance Review Commission is finalizing its first report, showing state funding now covers over 50% of school budgets, reducing property tax burdens by about $600 million.
The commission will continue work into 2026, focusing on equity, efficiency, and potential funding reforms.
