Board Pauses Identity Prep Approval | Omaha News

Nebraska’s education board has paused its decision on Identity Preparatory Academy, voting 6-2 amid concerns over outdated website language that some feared implied anti-American sentiment — a claim the school’s founder, Dr. Dernecia Phillips, firmly denies, noting her military upbringing and that the wording was from an early design phase. The board plans a Monday site visit to better understand the school’s mission before making a final call, even as some members argue the school already meets standards and curriculum shouldn’t be their concern. Families await clarity as the board’s next move could determine the academy’s future. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
