Welcome to a new school year and to the Fall 2023 issue of Rural Crossroads: CONNECTIONS—the Rural Education Center’s newsletter designed to amplify rural accomplishments, future projects, and your concerns.
In this issue, we will give you an update on several grants the REC has received—and what it means for your school district. (Already this semester, we’ve received more than $4 million in project funding, with the majority of that funding going toward equipment and resources for rural schools.
Speaking of grants, we’re going to start a new project which we think you’ll find valuable. We will be providing grant-writing support for rural schools to achieve some of their goals. For example, do you have a class that needs a special resource? Or funds for some technology? We’re interested in hearing how grant funding might help make those happen. Read the news item below to get details!
We also introduce you to our growing staff at the REC. We’re fortunate to have several talented staff members who are eager to help rural schools succeed!
And there’s plenty more that you can read all about. Hope you enjoy this issue of the newsletter, and don’t hesitate to reach out to us!
