NSAA Board of Directors Meeting Minutes - February 19, 2025

A
The NSAA's approved resolution on gender participation is below:

NSAA BOARD OF DIRECTORS RESOLUTION​

WHEREAS, on February 5, 2025, Presidential Executive Order "Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports" was signed. It prohibits transgender males from participating in sports designated for females;

WHEREAS, the Executive Order references enforcement actions against state activity associations and member schools, with member schools being recipients of federal funds who could face action to rescind that funding;

WHEREAS, the Executive Order also calls for development of regulations and resolving ongoing litigation consistent with the Order;

WHEREAS, the Unicameral is also considering LB 89, the "Stand With Women Act" which would prohibit all transgender participation and limit activity participation to male and female sports based on male and female designation, based on biological reproductive function and not gender identity; and

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the NSAA will comply with state and federal law, but until more clarity emerges under state and federal law, the NSAA Board of Directors takes the following actions which temporarily modify its gender participation policy until further notice:

1. The NSAA is in compliance with state and federal law and the Executive Order, and we will continue to follow state and federal law.

2. The NSAA will handle all new applications for transgender participation consistent with the Executive Order and state and federal law.

3. Females may continue to participate on male teams when there is no female sport or comparable sport or team offered in that sport by the member school, which has been the law in Nebraska for decades.

Approved by the NSAA Board of Directors on February 19, 2025.

Bancroft-Rosalie not playing at home at 19-3 having already beaten Howells-Dodge. Great system.

Agreed. They would be easily hosting if D1 and D2 were using the C1 and C2 system.

This is a huge reason why I have never been a fan of predetermined subs. No reason BR and Walthill couldn't swap subs if you are going by geography.

One team is 19-3 and one is 19-4.......I don't see the issue really. H-D obviously had a stronger schedule and/or wins to garner more points, which is the how the brackets are currently seeded.

There could be a lot of movement in the next football cycle. Bennington, Gretna East, Lincoln Northwest, Lincoln Standing Bear, and Elkhorn North will likely be class A. If you look at the most recent enrollment figures from the state Scottsbluff may be as well. Gretna is close but probably still B for the next cycle.
Click to expand...
I bet the big schools in the East do whatever they can to make sure Scottsbluff never makes it to class A. NP is far enough.

I think the increased push of career/technical education in high schools has added power in keeping kids home in the communities they grow up in. Used to be unthinkable for an educator to encourage a kid NOT to go to college. Reality is college isn't or everyone, and in some cases I'd go so far to say its a sham. More high schools are encouraging kids to be welders, diesel mechanics, farmers, electricians, etc... I don't have data on this, but I'd say those kids are more likely to stay local after graduation than kids that go on to college. The social shaming of kids that don't go to college is going away, which is a step in the right direction.

I'll just leave these two pieces of literature here.

This paragraph hits the nail on the head

"The best hope for sustaining rural community schools lies in halting or reversing the decline in the rural population. Rural school consolidations and rural population decline are linked in a vicious circle: the rural population declines, so schools are consolidated. Consolidated schools weaken the bonds between rural youth and their home towns, making it more likely that they will migrate elsewhere as adults – and the population declines even further. There are numerous factors contributing to the decline of the rural population, but chief among them are the death of economic opportunities and, as Wendell Berry put it in his typically pithy way, the fact that “the child is not educated to return home and be of use to the place and community; he or she is educated to leave home and earn money in a provisional future that has nothing to do with place or community” (Berry, 1990, p. 163, emphasis in original29). To reverse this trend, revitalization of the local economy in rural communities is needed. Also needed is a rethinking of some of our educational practices – How might we educate people to stay in their communities, rather than educating them to leave?

Agreed on the point of Tech/Trade degrees. Their popularity will allow some rural towns to keep its graduates. Students who are successfully obtaining 4 year degrees and graduate/doctorate level degrees, will sparingly return to those towns though. The exception would be towns that thrive due to their close proximity to large urban areas. Bennington, Yutan, Wahoo, Malcolm, Ashland, Valley, Firth, & Waverly, are all experiencing growth and a "return" of families because they don't actually have to work in those communities. They can commute to Omaha/Lincoln for work but also enjoy the benefits of small town living. Some rural communities will thrive and even see a resurgence. But they will need to probably exist within 40 minutes of a large urban area. You will see a spray of successful rural communities centered around Kearney, GI, Norfolk, Omaha, and Lincoln. It is what Gretna, Elkhorn, Papillion, and La Vista used to be. Our population density projection is just not favorable to most of rural Nebraska. Specifically west and north of Kearney. The growth will be east of Kearney and along I-80, especially between and around Lincoln/Omaha. If I'm a small town outside of that zone, I'd start to look at some creative long term strategic planning to make your community appealing.

Totally agree on the push for Tech education. It's very important. It's great to see growth at the community college level, it's no longer "embarrassing" to go to a community college like it was perceived to be in the 2000's when I was in high school.

BUT there are some towns that just aren't going to make it. Thus their school will struggle to make it. Not every small town can survive and keep a school. Some can make it. Pender is figuring it out, Hartington seems to have it figured out, Humphrey is growing, Yutan, etc. That is great!

Some may want to move back "home" but maybe instead if moving to Bancroft, they move to West Point. Instead of moving to back to Brady, they want to raise their kids in Gothenburg. Ord instead of Scotia, etc. The Ord's, Gothenburg's, West Point's will benefit because they have the C1-C2 schools with good student to teacher ratios, more offerings, better overall staff, and teams with healthy rosters. Culture matters.
