About SNRP
In June 1997, the State Board of Education approved the establishment of statewide educational programs and support services for children who are Deaf or hard of hearing. A state plan was developed to support the concept of the Nebraska Regional Programs (NRP).
Vision Statement
Students who are Deaf or hard of hearing, and who reside in the southeast region of Nebraska, will succeed in school and in social endeavors.
MISSION STATEMENT
The Southeast Nebraska Regional Program will provide necessary support to students, families, professionals, and schools in fulfillment of the vision.
