In 2016, LB 447 was enacted and provided in part, effective July 1, 2016 the three Board of Education representatives would no longer serve on the Omaha School Employees' Retirement Board of Trustees.  This reduced the ten member retirement board of trustees down to a seven member board. 

Effective 2017, four of the seven board members will be elected by the Membership.  The elected board members will be the 2-certified members, 1-classified member, and 1-retired member.  The Superintendent and the two business representatives will continue to be appointed by the Board of Education.
