OMAHA- As Dr. Cheryl Logan wraps up her time as the leader of Nebraska's largest school district, she took time to reflect upon her tenure, saying that she wouldn't have done anything differently these past five years. Dr. Logan has served in the position since 2018, and has had to navigate many obstacles since joining the school district, including teacher shortages, transportation issues, declining student achievement, and a deadly pandemic.

"You don't get to choose the circumstances of your leadership--you choose a job and the job chooses you," said Logan, "I'm really reflective, especially about decision-making...every decision that was made or executed, even the ones we have to make quickly with the time allotted, we were thoughtful, we brought in resources or experts to help us make those decisions and executed them."

Over the past five years, Dr. Logan has spearheaded the launch of academies and pathways at each high school in the district, deployed new one-to-one technology, managed the construction of several new school buildings, and helped create plans to disburse millions of dollars in federal Covid-19 relief money. Logan also stated that she was proud of her work in implementing LB147 in 2021, which will put the Nebraska Public Employees Retirement Systems in charge of managing the troubled OPS pension system in 2024.
