Parent up now says "if you think these parents care more about sports than about their kids' education or about peoples lives or they think less about other people in the district, you are sadly mistaken." #JGRD819UNL

One parent has a wife who teaches in OPS and children who are in Millard.
He supports OPS in their efforts. #JGRD819UNL

[Dara Reneé @iamdararenee]

Another parent says she knows that everyone is impacted by covid and that OPS is doing their best. She supports remote learning but says time needs to be limited on computer screens. #JGRD819UNL

[Dara Reneé @iamdararenee]

Parent Jenn Dartmann says remote learning has been done very well. She's had minimal technology issues and encourages remote learning for next quarter. #JGRD819UNL

[Dara Reneé @iamdararenee]

Michelle Crabtree has a special education student at Norris middle school and says remote learning has been frustrating. She hasn't received calls from her school as promised. #JGRD819UNL

[Dara Reneé @iamdararenee]

OPS Board member Amanda Ryan, who is not seeking reelection, said the last six months have been draining. She said it's obvious Nebraskans love sports. More families are concerned with their athletic success than families as a whole. #JGRD819UNL
