School board members for the Millard district in Omaha have offered to personally pay to rent a school site for a tribute to Nebraska’s fallen soldiers.

The district has rejected school display of the “Remembering Our Fallen” tribute during a school day. The district cited security and logistical concerns and worries that any group with an opposing viewpoint could demand similar space and time in the same public buildings.

Board member Mike Kennedy told the Omaha World-Herald that renting school space on a weekend would avoid problems.

Bill Williams and his wife created the tribute, which honors the servicemen and women with Nebraska ties who have died in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Williams said Thursday that he’s willing to talk to the board members about the offer.
