Forty-three percent of the nation's public schools are in rural communities, and nearly one-third of America's school-aged children attend public schools in these communities.
Rural schools face exceptional challenges and many have questions concerning implementation of No Child Left Behind in their rural communities. In response to these questions, a Rural Education Task Force to identify challenges and to recommend ways that rural schools and their communities can address those challenges.
No Child Left Behind provides an unprecedented amount of flexibility for all schools—including those in states with rural school districts—to improve student performance. The Secretary's Rural Education Task Force wants to hear from rural educators, parents and citizens about the challenges rural schools and their communities face.
The efforts of the task force will include the challenges and opportunities facing rural education and the promising prospects made available through the effective use of state-of-the-art technology.
