LINCOLN- With the recent surge in cases at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, LPS will be pulling student teachers and college students doing practicums from the classroom until there is a negative test reported. LPS has 188 student teachers from local colleges with another 498 college students doing practicums in classrooms.
