On the Other End of the Line: Five years after statewide expansion, Safe2Help Nebraska continues to save lives By Tyler Dahlgren, NCSA Communications Manager

From January 2020 through this past June, 5,672 tips have come in. Bullying and cyberbullying are the most common reports, with 922 instances. Safe2Help Nebraska has received 693 suicide threats and 605 drug tips. There’s no telling the amount of tragedies that have been thwarted, and within that ambiguity lies the power of the program. “When we talk about the wide scale and breadth of the type of threats that come in it starts with those three, but there are a bunch of different microcategorizations that occur throughout all the tips that we’re receiving,” said Oscar Gonzalez, Director of the Boys Town National Hotline. “Lives have absolutely been saved through this system.”

NCSA Communications Manager Tyler Dahlgren interviews Senior Director of National Services Scott Hartman, Director of Advocacy and Public Policy Margaret Vacek, and Director of the Boys Town National Hotline Oscar Gonzalez during NCSA’s visit to Boys Town.

There’s a story unfolding in the heart of Omaha: a tale of significance, mindfulness, and hope, and it gets more powerful every time the telephone rings. Boys Town has a timeline to be proud of. In fact, it’s one of the first displays visitors encounter when entering the crisis call center tucked away in the northwest corner of the historic institution’s campus. On May 5, 1989, the Boys Town National Hotline received its first call. Two years later, after several new market areas were added, the Hotline fielded its millionth. Fast forward three decades to the passing of LB 322, which mandated the statewide expansion of Safe2Help Nebraska, a 24/7 confidential reporting system and crisis helpline that would operate within Boys Town’s call center. Five years have passed since NCSA, Boys Town, NDE, and other institutions came together and collaboratively carried LB 322 across the finish line. The impact has matched and even exceeded what proponents of the program anticipated. It’s right there in the numbers.

NCSA TODAY FALL 2026

Data kept by the team at Boys Town points to a steady increase in volume, from 798 tips fielded in 2022 to 1,107 in 2023 and 1,191 in 2024. By centralizing anonymous tip reporting through the Boys Town National Hotline and integrating with localized school threat assessment teams, Safe2Help Nebraska has grown into a proactive safety engine that currently serves three-quarters of the state’s total K-12 student population. Before LB 322 passed, most school districts in Nebraska lacked a dedicated, round-the-clock mechanism to process anonymous tips regarding student safety, self-harm, or potential violence. "Most districts had nothing," said Margaret Vacek, Director of Advocacy and Public Policy at Boys Town. "They simply went to the police."

“Will you answer? Will you be our solution?” Looking back, the ball really started rolling when Millard Public Schools reached out to Boys Town seeking a 24/7 solution to answer tips for their district. “We need to try this,” Scott Hartman, Senior Director of National Services at Boys Town, remembers thinking. “We need to do this for Millard. Then other districts started reaching out and asking, ‘Will you answer? We want something 24/7. Will you be our solution?’” So Boys Town zoned in on building out the infrastructure. A federal Stop Violence Grant secured by the Omaha Police Department subsequently funded a pilot expansion across

SA FE 2 HE LP NEBRASK A Douglas County, backed by community partners such as The Sherwood Foundation. Yet, administrators recognized that localized grants could not sustain a long-term solution. They needed a statewide framework, one that empowered students to report weapons, self-harm, or bullying without defaulting directly to law enforcement for every incident. The challenge was securing sustainable funding without tapping general funds. Ultimately, NDE leadership and advocacy partners identified just under $1 million of federal funds to launch the operations at Boys Town. With key legislative backing, LB 322 cleared the Legislature five years ago, establishing a unified platform modeled on best practices similar to the Safe2Tell Colorado model.

Our 100+ courses are created to meet national and state standards.

"Colorado said, 'If we could build ours over again, we'd do it like Nebraska,’” said Hartman. “That’s a compliment coming from them.”

Inside the Call Center

Challenge high-achieving students

At Boys Town, trained crisis counselors shuffle about their cubicles, answering tips 24/7 via phone, web, and mobile app. Gonzalez monitors the numbers closely. Over 85 percent of incoming situations are addressed directly by crisis counselors and district teams without active police intervention. Because the hotline is nested within Boys Town’s broader crisis infrastructure (which also handles 988 and the Nebraska Family Helpline), counselors bring a high level of mental health expertise to incoming tips. "When we talk about suicidal threats being one of our top tips coming in, it's largely third-party reporting, tipping on behalf of a friend,” he said. “That linkage between our counselor skill sets allows for immediate outreach." It takes a special kind of person to do the work of a crisis counselor. The staff at Boys Town is highly-trained and highlyskilled. They also have big hearts. “You have to be somebody that wants to provide assistance and to work with people that are sometimes at their darkest moments, and that's not an easy thing to do,” Kristine Bosiljevac, who manages the Boys Town Hotline, said. “People are trusting us to make the right decisions, to collaborate with them, to get them connected to the right sources and resources for support.” For parents and students alike, anonymity is a critical component. Parents have used the line to report a wide range of concerns, secure in the knowledge that their child won't face social or institutional reprisal.

“It's been a wonderful experience, just to see from where this started to where we are now and to where it's going,” said Bosiljevac. “It provides parents, educators and people in the community with a trusted, confidential way to report safety concerns before they escalate into crises.” Bosiljevac’s perspective is as full-scope as anyone’s. She’s been at Boys Town for 36 years, starting out as a family teacher before becoming a crisis counselor with the hotline. She’s held several different titles in the time since, and the last five years have been particularly rewarding. “We weren't sure how students were going to respond to this, but it’s proven that when you give people a safe place to share concerns, they care about each other and they're willing to do that,” Bosiljevac said. “That's what keeps us going. As it has progressed, more and more schools have come on board and more and more kids and adults are making reports. Every tip represents someone who cared enough to reach out, and every response is an opportunity to prevent harm and connect individuals with help.”

see the scale and scope. I’m incredibly proud of this group, of this organization, and the work that gets done here.” Though they’re not mandated to do so, every district in the state has the opportunity to utilize Safe2Help Nebraska. Getting the word out and bringing attention to this gamechanging resource has been a successful venture, but there’s still work to do. The goal, Gonzalez said, is 100 percent.

It’s been five years since Safe2Help Nebraska expanded its services statewide. To celebrate five years, NCSA visited the call center on Boys Town’s campus in mid-August.

“With advocates such as NCSA championing and advocating for this, we think we can get there,” Vacek said. “And again, the outcomes speak for themselves for the schools who’ve had that opportunity to be a part of this. They, in turn, share with other superintendents the great service and the value of the service. It’s saving lives.”

On the Ground with Bennington Public Schools Gonzalez said his training team meets with school administrators often throughout the year. Bennington Public Schools was among the first cohort of districts to pilot the service after the School Safety and Security Reporting System Act went into effect following the passing of LB 322. "We rolled it out 6th through 12th grade that first year," said assistant superintendent Dr. Matt Blomenkamp. "We communicated to our community and parents that this was just another new way to report to adults in an anonymous way."

NCSA, alongside Boys Town and other educational institutions, championed LB 322 five years ago. The bill was successfully passed, creating the School Safety and Security Reporting System Act to fund and establish a statewide anonymous threat-reporting system.

It takes a village, and over the last five years their village has grown. “We have a lot of great partners,” Gonzalez said. “NDE has been a fabulous partner for us through this. We call them the sales department, as they engage with school districts and the selling of the product. And then each district has to have a threat assessment team, and it takes really good partnerships with them. So it’s more than just us. We can be the best executors on our own, but that means nothing if we don’t have strong partnerships.” With a military background and extensive experience working for for-profit organizations, Gonzalez joined the Boys Town team not knowing exactly what to expect. “I didn’t realize how much I was looking for a job that drives towards a collective mission for good until I came to Boys Town and got to see the work that is being done here at the hotline,” he said. “It was nothing short of impressive and fabulous to 6

The district later expanded the program to 5th-grade classrooms to introduce students to the reporting mechanisms prior to their middle school transition. Each year, Blomenkamp and the district's SROs visit all five elementary schools to walk 5th graders through the platform. When a tip is filed, notifications are immediately routed to building counselors, principals, SROs, and district administration. It’s a seamless process, and somebody is always there. "If there's a Safe2Help report, we identify right away whether it is something we need to immediately address," Blomenkamp explained. "Whether it’s 8:00 AM on a Tuesday morning or Christmas Eve night, if a report comes in about self-harm, we are on the phone with parents. If we can't get ahold of them, our police do a wellness visit. It creates another layer of support." At the beginning of each year, Blomenkamp sits down with school resource officers from the Bennington Police Department to evaluate the district’s threat assessment team, as well as their crisis plan and emergency response. The district has been fortunate, he said, to have worked with nationally-accredited assessment trainer Tony Raymaker, and their relationship with the Bennington Police Department has flourished in recent years.

SA FE 2 HE LP NEBRASK A “We feel like we’ve built a good program and a good process of being able to identify a threat and then assess what level it is and which folks need to be involved, when, where and how,” he explained. BPS superintendent Dr. Aaron Plas noted that the platform has reshaped how students interact with school leadership. Safe2Help is a communication pipeline, and it’s clear and direct. "It’s pretty ingrained in our culture at this point," Plas said. "It gives students another opportunity to tell adults what they're seeing and what we can help them out with. It would be hard to get rid of." The Safe2Help Nebraska team takes pride in the relationships they share and the correspondence they have with hundreds of schools across the state. The feedback they receive is vital, and they’re constantly circling back. “We’re always following up,” said Gonzalez. “It comes back to partnering and having open communication to understand what their needs are, because the service is the most important thing and we want to make sure that exists.”

The Last 25 Percent While Safe2Help Nebraska currently protects 75% of the state’s student body, adoption varies across smaller rural districts. The ultimate goal remains universal coverage across public, private, and parochial schools, Vacek reiterated. "The outcomes speak for themselves," Vacek said. "If you can save one life, it is without a doubt worth it."

When asked what message he would share with rural superintendents who have yet to adopt the system, Gonzalez suggests reaching out directly to colleagues already using it. "Don't take our word for it,” he said. “Go talk to your peers through the schools. Listen to the benefits they've gleaned from it. That will tell the story." The partnership between NCSA and Boys Town, Vacek said, is a prime example of taking policy and putting it into practice. “This is great evidence of doing something positive for students and families across Nebraska.” Executive Director Dr. Mike Dulaney shared a similar sentiment, noting that the impact Safe2Help Nebraska has made across the state has mirrored what the team behind LB 322 believed it could five years ago. “There was a universal effort in putting the bill together,” said Dulaney. “It was one of those times where everyone came together. We felt it was that important, and I don't think I've been more proud of any partnership or project than I am of this one.” The story of Safe2Help Nebraska is a heartwarming tale of collaboration and a commitment to the safety and wellbeing of students, and it’s still unfolding. “What continues to stand out to me is the willingness of Nebraskans to look out for one another,” said Bosiljevac. “Safe2Help Nebraska gives people a way to act on those concerns, and every day we see how early intervention, collaboration, and compassionate response can make a meaningful difference in the lives of students and families.” ■

Longtime McCook Superintendent Grant Norgaard Steps into Assistant Commissioner Role with NDE By Tyler Dahlgren, NCSA Communications Manager

Leaving McCook Public Schools after 17 memorable years was difficult for Grant Norgaard. Seventeen years in one spot is a whale of a run, after all, especially in the world of school superintendency.

“The skill sets that are required to do this type of work are the same that are required to lead a district, but the processes, procedures, and practices are all new,” he explained. “I have to do a lot of learning. Sometimes I do a lot of studying on things I don’t need to study on, and sometimes I miss something I really needed to study more about. It’s just getting comfortable with knowing what I need to know, what I need to focus my energy and time on.”

Tenure like that is unheard of these days, but when an assistant commissioner role at NDE opened, the very NORGAARD position he’d long been curious about, it was time for a bittersweet final bell. For Norgaard, it’s a new adventure, one that’ll allow his decades of expertise to make a statewide impact.

Looking a year down the road is exciting for Norgaard, who credits the likes of Dr. Ryan Foor, Dr. Jane Stavem, Brad Dirksen, Jim Kent and, of course, the commissioner himself, Dr. Brian Maher, for their help in making the transition as smooth as possible.

“One of the reasons I’ve always been interested in an opportunity to work with NDE is the ability to have a broad influence,” Norgaard said. “I’m a policy person, I’m a research person, and I’m attracted to those types of things. I felt like it was the right time, and I felt like this was a good fit for me.” Norgaard is in Lincoln now, getting accustomed to his new role. There’s plenty to learn, and he’s enjoying the Capital City, but he’ll always hold a place in his heart for McCook and the people who make the community so special. “It was a great 17 years, and, of course, I’m biased, but I think things went very well there and I will always feel closely connected to that community and that school system,” Norgaard said. “The people are warm and caring. They’re supportive of their children and of their learning. We just clicked. I saw the world the same way the community of McCook saw the world and tried to serve them as best I could to meet their wants and desires. It worked out well.” Norgaard hit the ground running at NDE. In the assistant commissioner role, he serves as a liaison between the State Board of Education and the department, aids in policy development, and assists the commissioner on initiatives throughout the year. His duties continue to evolve, and getting up to speed has been a challenge, albeit one he craved.

NCSA TODAY FALL 2026

“Everyone here at NDE has been very helpful to me, and they’ve provided me with good insight on how things work,” Norgaard said. “It’s been a really good experience so far. I’ll be doing a lot with policy and legislative work this upcoming session, and I’m looking forward to that. I’ve done some of that in the past, but it wasn’t nearly as broad as what I’ll be doing in this role.” Norgaard’s first principalship was in Benkelman (which has since merged into Dundy County Stratton), more than two decades ago. He stepped into the superintendent’s role with Leigh Public Schools for four years before taking his dream job in McCook. The network he’s built and maintained over his three decades in public education will undoubtedly serve as an asset in his role with NDE, he said. “NCSA has been critical in my administrative development, my ability to network and to understand and engage for more than 25 years now,” he added. “NCSA has invested in me, as far as legislative issues go, further and deeper than any other organization or group, and I really appreciate that.” Norgaard spent Thursday and Friday at Administrators’ Days connecting with his former peers and colleagues. He knows firsthand the importance of their input and, naturally, has an innate ability to understand issues from their perspective. Continued on page 13...

Leading with Perseverance and Grace By Dr. Heather Nebesniak, NASA President Elect

As I enter my 32nd year in education, I am honored to serve as the 2026-2027 NASA President. Being a career-long Nebraska public school educator, I have served as an elementary teacher, a high school coach, a district reading coordinator, an elementary principal and currently as the Superintendent of Ord NEBESNIAK Public Schools. Spending the previous 17 years in educational administration, I have developed a great appreciation for the opportunities that NCSA has provided and the impact that NCSA has had on my leadership journey. Whether you are new to the administrative role or are a seasoned veteran, the built-in support system that NCSA provides is something that is instrumental when navigating the ever-changing scene of educational administration. Schools continue to face a unique combination of challenges: shifting policies, unpredictable crises, diverse student needs, and often limited resources. Being a leader in a school isn't just about strategic thinking; it is often more about emotional endurance than educational pedagogy. Staffing shortages, budget constraints, and shifting academic standards demand a deep sense of purpose. This summer, I had the privilege of engaging with aspiring educational administrators and the following question came up: "We always hear about the changes in education that are happening. What is something in education that has stayed the same over your time as an administrator?". Leading through the years and watching the pendulum swing one way to the other, there have been a few constants that have stuck out. It was the first time I had been asked this question and after some reflection, I landed on the following; perseverance and grace. Perseverance is not just about being able to make it through the challenges that will undoubtedly come; it is also about keeping the focus on the vision that is driving your day-today operations in your school district. As a school leader, we have the privilege and responsibility of being an anchor for our students, staff, and community when challenges arise. Good leaders help keep the compass needle pointing in the right direction. Great leaders take it a step further when that needle wavers by using the setbacks that occur to help 12

guide opportunities to grow and adapt. A wise mentor said that we don't make excuses when tough situations catch us off guard, but instead we accept the situation as a barrier to overcome and get better for the next time. Being confident in your leadership while also being humble enough to learn from mistakes and missteps is something that is not easy but this is where grace comes in. If perseverance is the engine that drives a school forward, grace is the oil that keeps the engine from overheating. We are all human and grace provides the space to be human and build connections with those around us. Giving grace is something educational leaders are taught to do but being able to ask for grace is something that is less talked about. You cannot pour from an empty cup and true grace applies to the leader, too. Being an administrator is a hard job and you are often on an island. Recognizing your own limits and allowing yourself time for restoration prevents the emotional toll that can occur when the decision-making conveyor belt is running on high. In many districts across the state, the administration team is small with your role being unique to only you in the district. Building strong connections both within and outside your district can help the role seem less lonely and provide a safe place to get the emotional investments you need to be the best leader that you can be. Please take the time to extend the same grace to yourselves that you extend to students, staff, and stakeholders. We shouldn't be the last in line but we often place ourselves there. It is my hope that your membership with NCSA and the various affiliates help to provide a refuge from the storm when needed, but more than that, that we are a place where you can feel celebrated and valued for the important person that you are. Connect with us to celebrate the successes that often go overlooked and lean on us when things feel heavy. I hope that the 2026-2027 school year holds many successes for your students, your schools, your communities, and above all, for you. ■

Education doesn’t need more tools. It needs coherence.

Longtime McCook Superintendent Grant Norgaard Steps into Assistant Commissioner Role with NDE (Continued from page 10) “I’ve already made a plan for talking to more administrators from across the state in the future,” he said. “I’m so close to that, I feel like I can still speak on their behalf. I know I’m going to need their input, because things do change. They change quickly, so I’ll need to stay connected to our school leaders. They will be critical for me and my role at NDE.” Dr. Maher played an integral role in his application for the position, Norgaard said. He’s known and admired the commissioner for many years, dating back to their days with GNS. Norgaard joked that he’s an old man to have a mentor, but that’s what he gets in Maher.

The work done at the department is extremely technical, said Norgaard, and he’s been continuously impressed with the staff at NDE, with their professionalism, their dedication and the care they pour into what they do. “The folks here really care about our kids and care about our schools,” he continued, noting the eye-opening breadth of services and supports offered by the department. “There’s some things I still need to learn about in terms of all we do. It’s a broad net, and it can be challenging at times, but we have really good people working on it, and I’m excited to be a part of it.” ■

“I was always impressed with his intelligence, his gift of working with people,” said Norgaard. “He has a profound gift of working through contentious issues, and I certainly can learn a great deal from him in the way he operates and handles difficult situations.”

Stronger Together: How Statewide Collaboration Strengthens Nebraska Schools By Dr. Larianne Polk, ESUCC Executive Director

District leaders regularly point to the personalized nature of NebPS support as one of NebPS's greatest strengths. They value one-on-one meetings, an extra set of eyes on district data, and access to people who understand both PowerSchool and Nebraska’s reporting environment.

POLK

Part One:The Nebraska PowerSchool Cooperative

Every day, school leaders in Nebraska depend on systems, networks, software, and information to serve students, their schools, districts, and the community. When those systems are provided efficiently and reliably, they are nearly invisible. In many ways, that is also a goal of the statewide work facilitated by the Educational Service Unit Coordinating Council: to provide services and support so seamlessly that districts can focus on the work in front of them rather than the systems operating behind the scenes. The Nebraska PowerSchool Cooperative (NebPS) is one example of statewide collaboration in action. NebPS provides support for all aspects of PowerSchool, including training, state reporting, and on-demand assistance from a real, live person. The cooperative currently serves more than 150 school districts, supporting more than 100,000 students and 25,000 teachers. In 2025-2026 alone, the NebPS team delivered 85+ training sessions, logged more than 3,500 hours of meetings supporting schools - all while responding to district needs within 24 hours, and often the same day. Those numbers demonstrate scale, but the real value of NebPS is the expertise behind them. Nebraska districts have access to an eight-member team of PowerSchool specialists who work together to troubleshoot issues, answer questions, help districts prepare for state reporting, and provide training that is responsive to local needs. For school staff, that means a question does not simply enter a national support queue. It reaches people who understand Nebraska schools, Nebraska reporting requirements, and the day-to-day realities of district operations.

NCSA TODAY FALL 2026

NebPS also gives districts a collective voice. Nebraska schools have a voice in the NebPS system through the Advisory Committee. This committee provides input to the ESUCC for advancements, improvements, and district-relevant topics. The NebPS staff advocate for Nebraska districts, review upcoming software releases, and help districts anticipate changes that may affect ADVISER and state reporting. The result is more than technical support. It is a partnership designed to reduce inefficiencies, strengthen the capacity at the local level, and help school staff spend less time troubleshooting the systems and more time serving students, teachers, and families. That partnership reflects something larger about Nebraska's Educational Service Unit system: we are stronger when we work together. Across the state, ESUs and their partners have built shared services, networks, and cooperative structures that allow schools to benefit from expertise and capacity that would be difficult for any one district to create on its own. This article is the first in a series highlighting statewide services that strengthen Nebraska schools through collaboration. Some are coordinated through ESUCC; others are led through statewide ESU networks and partnerships. Each one tells a different story, but the common thread is the same: when Nebraska educators combine local relationships with statewide expertise, schools across the state benefit. Learn more about how NebPS can support your schools at ESUCC.org/nebps or by contacting the NebPS Director, Becky Sosalla, at support@nebps.jitbit.com. About the Stronger Together Series Stronger Together highlights statewide services and partnerships that expand capacity, share expertise, and support Nebraska schools. Each article focuses on a service made stronger through collaboration across districts, ESUs, and statewide partners. ■

Superintendent Turnover

By Dr. Michael Sieh and Dr. Jerry Beach, Wayne State College Our profession will begin the new academic year with 20 rookie superintendents across Nebraska. While the Nebraska Council of School Administrators has established programs to support first-year superintendents, meaningful success in this role depends on a strong and supportive network extending beyond any single organization. As colleagues in the profession, all educational leaders are encouraged to reach out to Nebraska’s new superintendents and offer support, mentorship, and encouragement as they transition into leadership. A simple connection, shared insight, or willingness to listen can make a meaningful difference in helping these individuals successfully meet the demands of their inaugural year of service and continue strengthening this important profession.

Women are strongly represented among Nebraska’s Educational Service Unit (ESU) leadership. Of the state’s 17 ESU administrators, seven are women, meaning 41% of these leadership positions are held by females. This level of representation stands in notable contrast to the superintendent ranks and highlights the important leadership role women continue to play in regional educational support systems across the state.
