Topics in development include:
PreK–12 Funding Equity: Addressing rural funding gaps so every child — no matter their ZIP code — has access to small class sizes, stable staffing, and modern learning environments.
Early Childhood Education: Strengthening early learning programs so families can find care, educators can afford to stay in the field, and kids start school ready to thrive.
Teacher Shortage Solutions: Tackling the shortage with practical, rural‑focused strategies: paid residencies, local grow‑your‑own pathways, and affordable educator preparation.
Postsecondary Access: continuing to expand affordable, flexible options for students pursuing college, trades, apprenticeships, or technical training.
Adult Learning: Making it easier for adults to retrain, upskill, or return to school, because rural economies depend adaptable workers.
