Nebraska Cloud

As schools increasingly rely on digital systems to support teaching, learning, and operations, access to secure, scalable, and well-supported technology environments is essential.

Nebraska Cloud exists to:

• Provide schools with access to modern cloud-based tools and infrastructure
• Support secure data storage and collaboration environments
• Reduce fragmentation by promoting consistent systems across districts
• Position Nebraska schools to leverage emerging technologies

This work aligns with broader statewide efforts to modernize digital systems, improve collaboration, and reduce cybersecurity risks through unified platforms and shared infrastructure.

Nebraska Cloud operates as a coordinated, statewide approach to cloud-based systems and services, supporting schools through shared infrastructure and collaborative support.

At a high level:

• Schools and districts access cloud-based tools for communication, storage, and collaboration
• Statewide partners coordinate infrastructure, licensing, and system alignment
• The ESU Coordinating Council (ESUCC) supports implementation, coordination, and access to services
• Educational Service Units (ESUs) provide local support, guidance, and training

This model ensures that schools can access cloud services within a supported, secure, and scalable system, rather than managing complex infrastructure independently.

Nebraska Cloud provides access to systems that are:

• Designed to support secure storage and data management
• Scalable to meet the needs of districts of varying sizes
• Aligned with best practices for cybersecurity and system reliability

This ensures that schools can operate within an environment that is both secure and sustainable over time.

Cloud-based systems support:

• Improved communication across schools and districts
• Shared access to documents and resources
• Collaboration among educators, leaders, and teams

These tools help reduce barriers and support more connected and efficient workflows across the state.

By participating in a coordinated approach to cloud services, schools benefit from:

• Reduced need to manage local infrastructure independently
• Greater consistency in tools and systems
• Shared expertise and support

This allows districts to focus more on teaching, learning, and operations, rather than managing complex technology systems.

Nebraska Cloud helps ensure that schools are prepared to:

• Integrate emerging technologies
• Adapt to evolving digital learning environments
• Maintain systems that support long-term innovation

This work reflects a broader commitment to building a future-ready education system across Nebraska.
