South Platte Public Schools

South Platte Public Schools runs the public schools in Big Springs and the country around it, in Deuel County. The district office is at PO Box 457. Nebraska school districts are run by a board elected locally, and the district is the body that hires the teachers, runs the buses and sets the calendar for every school under it. It belongs to Educational Service Unit 16 at Ogallala, which supplies special education staff, technology support, training and shared services that a single district could not carry alone. Mail can be sent to PO Box 457, Big Springs NE 69122.
