A passionate defender of the Omaha Public Schools has died.
F.E. "Fritz" Stanek
F.E. "Fritz" Stanek died at 2:30 a.m. Sunday at a local hospital, said Luanne Nelson, a spokeswoman for the Omaha Public Schools. He was 74 and one of the longest-serving school board members in the country.
Despite a close loss in last fall's election, Stanek began his 34th year on the Omaha board in January. The school board in December appointed Stanek to fill the seat that Jim Enright had won in November. After defeating the incumbent Stanek by 75 votes, Enright said he could not fill the seat because of health concerns.
Stanek was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma late last year.
School board President Sandra Jensen said today that Stanek "is leaving behind a really great legacy, and that legacy is his passion."
"He had a great passion for his children and his grandchildren," Jensen said. "He was a very, very proud husband and father and grandfather.
"But his other passion was for the Omaha Public Schools and the Omaha Public Schools' children and families and the employees who worked for OPS.
