Both the State of Nebraska and the Lincoln Board of Education recognize that teaching and its related services, including administrative and supervisory services, are a profession with all of the rights, responsibilities, and privileges accorded other recognized professions. The Board recognizes and endorses the Standards of Ethical and Professional Performance as established by the Nebraska Department of Education and expects all certificated employees to abide by these standards. Teachers with responsibilities for components of IEPs, IFSPs, 504 plans, and IHPs must read or make themselves aware of their responsibilities and comply with expectations of IEPs, IFSPs, 504 plans, and IHPs.
