Preventing Credit Card Blues at 22 - for Senior class this Wednesday

Cuming County Extension Office will be putting on the informational program. Here is some information for parents.

"This is an exciting time of life for high school seniors and their parents.  As  you and the young adult in your family prepare for graduation and the adventures ahead, University of Nebraska Lincoln-Extension encourages you to work out a plan for day-to-day expenses.  To assist you with this discussion we encourage you to visit our website: http://www.cuming.unl.edu/4hlocal  and scroll to the bottom of the page to  College Bound.  Those families who do not have access to the internet may contact the University of Nebraska Lincoln-Extension in Cuming County at 402-372-6006 or stop in the office located in the Cuming County Courthouse.  The materials will provide frame-work for developing a plan for daily expenses plus help you discuss potential risk for your young adult –gambling and identity theft.  Student Monitor, a New Jersey based research company, found that in 2014-2015 college students spend an annual average of $1989 on personal expenses such as clothing, laundry, toiletries, haircuts, entertainment, etc. and an additional $1073 on transportation including vehicle fees, parking , gas maintenance and travel costs.  It is important to figure out as a family how these expenses will be covered in the coming year."

Neihardt Spring Conference April 30

Thanks to the Neihardt Foundation Board of Directors for honoring me with the Neihardt Board of Directors Wall of Fame Award, which will be presented at the Neihardt Spring Conference April 30. It has been a pleasure to serve on the Board of Directors, and as your President.

Transgender Participation on agenda at NSAA meeting

I will be at the Nebraska School Activities Association Representative Assembly meeting today at 9:00 am in Lincoln. On the agenda is a policy to require all NSAA activity participants to participate as the gender that is on the certificate at birth. This would place Nebraska as the only state with this policy. Several other states require participation as the gender on your birth certificate. The difference results from state laws that allow people to legally change the gender on their birth certificate.
After many calls and e-mails the past two weeks asking me to vote for certificate at birth, I still choose to listen to the NSAA staff and the NSAA attorney when casting my vote.

Aaron Ras to be an NSAA advisor

Aaron Ras was selected by the Nebraska School Activities Association to serve on the NSAA Student Advisory Committee. Twelve students from across the state will make up the committee.
-->

The NSAA has approved the formulation of a Student Advisory Committee for the 2016-17 school year. This Student Advisory Committee is a diverse group of students who participate in interscholastic athletics/activities and are focused on providing education and leadership through open and honest communication with all member schools and their students, administrators and coaches. This committee will serve as a liaison between students, administrators, the NSAA Staff and Board of Directors. The Student Advisory Committee will help promote the mission of the NSAA, including leadership, sportsmanship and integrity.

Duties and Responsibilities:

The committee will discuss current student and Association issues, assist with various Association functions, and help to maintain an avenue of communication between the Association and the student participants themselves. Avenues to accomplish this goal will be:

- Committee members will give student perspective on proposed by-law changes

- Students will provide input, help develop and attend the sportsmanship and leadership summits in conjunction with the NCA.

-Students will record public service announcements (PSAs), through a media partner chosen by the NSAA. 
Congratulations Aaron.
