About the National Rural Education Policy Agenda

Over 100 rural education activists from all across the country have helped draft five position papers on national rural education policy. You can have a hand in drafting them, too.

The process of developing a National Rural Education Policy Agenda from the grassroots up was launched at the 2008 Rural Education Working Group Conference in Tuskegee, Alabama. Five committees were commissioned to draft reports.

Click the titles of the posts below to read each draft report. To add a comment, scroll down this page to the Comments section (rather than on the report itself) and add your voice to the discussion.

The committees will review comments and consider changes before finalizing their report. If you want to join the committee, just say so in your comment.

The reports will be presented and debated at the 2009 REWG meeting April 19-21 at Kanuga Conference Center in Hendersonville, North Carolina.

Get started now! Rural America needs your ideas, too.

School Funding Issues

Public education is an essential element of a successful democratic society. Suitable funding for public schooling should be considered a fundamental right for every citizen. School funding in a democratic society should not be affected by location and/or size of the school. Unfortunately, this is not the case.

Rural schools, due to location and size, face significant financial burdens that are unique to these settings. Individual rights of our citizenry should not be subject to bias and/or limited by the location in which one lives. Therefore, this committee believes that the following funding issues must be addressed if we are to honor, as a nation, some of our most basic democratic beliefs.
