Introducing the New Portal

Public, Nonpublic, ESU, Special Purpose, Rule 18, Postsecondary
As you may have heard by now, we introduced a new, modernized portal at the 2025 Data Conference in April. This email is serving as a formal introduction for those who may not have attended the conference or haven’t discussed the new portal with colleagues (who were in attendance) or various school leadership who received more targeted messaging over the past few weeks.
Please find the presentation from the Data Conference (including a recording of the Pre-Conference session) here: https://www.education.ne.gov/portal/. This will provide you with an overview of the modernizations we implemented and a tour of the new portal. (The website linked above also contains additional New Portal information, such as an FAQ.)
All regular and year end data collection will continue through our Legacy Portal until additional Applications are transitioned into the New Portal. The portal url remains: https://portal.education.ne.gov/ You may notice a link at the bottom of the portal splash page: Which Portal do I use? This document will be updated as applications transition from legacy to new portal.
For those Schools supported by ESU’s, we are hosting New Portal Road Shows end of July through August. Please find the schedule (and more information) at the portal website linked above.
Please contact the NDE Service Desk with any New Portal questions: NDE.ServiceDesk@Nebraska.gov

Conditional, Alternative and Temporary Request Summer/Fall 2025


DUE DATE
10/11/2025

The purpose of this bulletin item is to provide information on how to request a conditional, temporary or alternative permit for teachers who have been hired to start in SUMMER or FALL 2025 and may not have all their necessary documentation prior to the first day of school with students.
A Conditional Permit allows someone to sign a contract and work as a certified staff member with a location (school system) limitation and deficiencies that have not been met to be issued a regular teaching certificate such as a content test. A conditional permit can also be requested for someone who has applied for a local substitute permit and has not completed the human relations training course.
An Alternative Permit is designed for an applicant to complete a program before applying for a regular certificate while being employed as a contracted teacher.
A Temporary Certificate is designed for an applicant that is currently a para in a Nebraska school system but is being hired as a teacher on a full-time basis and has taken and passed the appropriate Praxis Content Test.
Conditional Permits, Alternative Permits and Temporary Certificates can only be requested for employment in a Nebraska school system.  If an applicant has not been a continuous resident of Nebraska for the last five years, fingerprint cards will need to be sent to the certification office before any permits can be issued. Once all deficiencies have been satisfied listed on a conditional permit, a regular certificate/permit will be issued without the need to apply and pay a fee unless the conditional permit has been invalidated by the expiration date. It is important for applicants to pay attention to their expiration date on their…Read More › – Conditional, Alternative and Temporary Request Summer/Fall 2025
