Students and staff from Omaha Nation High School, in Macy, Neb., visit the Genoa Indian Industrial School Museum in Genoa, Neb., on Tuesday, April 18, 2023. Most of the students have family members who attended the federal boarding school for Native children, which closed in 1934.
A Ralston Public Schools board member is resigning to take an administrative position within the district.
During its meeting on Monday, the school board accepted the resignation of Anne Harley, who has been a member since she was appointed in January to replace Merv Riepe, who was elected to the Nebraska Legislature.
Harley
Harley was recently selected to be the district’s assistant superintendent for teaching and learning for the 2023-24 school year. According to board policy, Harley can’t stay in her role on the school board while also filling the assistant superintendent job.
“It has been an honor to work alongside such dedicated and passionate individuals,” Harley wrote in her resignation letter. “I am grateful for the support and encouragement that I have received from my fellow board members, and I look forward to our continued partnership in achieving our district goals together.”
