Education
Education in Omaha is provided by many private and public institutions. Omaha Public Schools runs the city's largest public school district and is the largest school district in Nebraska with more than 45,000 students in more than 75 schools[citation needed]. There are more than 10 colleges, universities, trade, and specialty schools in the Omaha metro area.
The Nebraska State Legislature recently approved a controversial plan to split Omaha into three distinct "learning communities" with a central administrative board. The plan, originally proposed by Near North Side State Senator Ernie Chambers, relies on dividing Omaha Public Schools according to racial composition, with Caucasian students predominantly attending a West Omaha learning community; Hispanic/Latino students in South Omaha and; African American students in North Omaha.
