Great Schools = Great Community

Kearney School District’s Great Schools = Great Community initiative is bringing students, staff, families and community members together to help shape the future of our schools. Through open conversations, starting in September 2026, about learning, facilities, finances and long-term priorities, KSD is working to build shared understanding and make thoughtful decisions that support students and strengthen our community. Visit the Great Schools = Great Community page to learn more, explore the information being shared and find opportunities to participate. Join us for these important conversations during the following sessions:

  • Friday, Sept. 11 – 8:15 to 9:30 a.m. at Dogwood Elementary
  • Tuesday, Sept. 15 – 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the KSD Central Office
  • Wednesday, Sept. 16 – 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Kearney Senior Center
