All-Girls School Faces Approval Delay | Omaha News

A proposed all-girls school in North Omaha, Identity Preparatory Academy, faces a major roadblock as the Nebraska Board of Education delays its approval—after one member labeled its curriculum “abolitionist” and demanded more review. While other board members defended the school’s right to self-govern its curriculum and called the scrutiny unfair, especially given the school’s focus on African American students, tensions escalated. Deborah Neary accused the board of potentially illegal, disrespectful, and even racist behavior by applying different standards. With just eight days before its opening, the academy is under intense pressure as the board pushes the vote to August 11th—leaving the future of this vital educational initiative hanging in the balance.
