Upcoming Deadline for 2025-2026 NEP Changes

Public Districts

As you are reviewing your 2025-2026 data in the NEP Secure application in the New NDE Portal, should you find that you need to make any changes to your 2025-2026 cohort or dropout data, please submit a Graduation Cohort Resolution Request through the Consolidated Data Collections (CDC) in the Legacy NDE Portal by November 13, 2026. Submitting by this date will guarantee NDE time to review and potentially process your changes before the 2025-2026 cohort graduation and dropout rates are finalized for publication in the Nebraska Education Profile (NEP): https://nep.education.ne.gov/. (While Graduation Cohort Resolution Requests will continue to be accepted after November 13th, any changes made will not be reflected in the NEP until the following year.)

Local Substitute Additional Days – 2026-2027

OPENS

CLOSES
05/31/2027
The Nebraska Department of Education (NDE) is aware of the continued shortage of substitute teachers in school systems this school year.

The Commissioner may authorize additional days for local substitute teaching permit holders upon request by a Nebraska school system that demonstrates a need for additional days, beyond the 90 full-time days per school year currently allowed. To authorize the additional days, the Department must receive a request from a Nebraska school system that demonstrates need.

To facilitate school system requests, the Department has created an online form. You or your school system staff can access that form here: Local Substitute Teaching Permit – Request for Additional Days Form. The form does allow for a single request that would cover all local substitute permit holders, which would eliminate the need for submission of multiple forms.

Once a request has been submitted, it will be reviewed, and the school system will be notified of the authorization. Please direct any questions about the process to the NDE Accreditation team by emailing nde.accreditation@nebraska.gov.
