Rural school districts play a critical role in providing a strong foundation for rural communities. As the state’s economy changes, school districts play an essential role in ensuring all students learn the real-world skills they need to succeed. Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle should make a responsible investment in the governor’s proposed plan, because it will make historic progress in giving every student the quality of education they deserve.
