Research for Policy-Makers
Information about education for commissioners and legislators
This program adds to the national body of work about rural education and it explores what the research means for increasing educational attainment and economic competitiveness of Idahoans and others who live and work in rural communities. The program helps towns, school boards, legislators and others better understand issues that affect rural education, have more informed policy discussions and bring attention to the unique needs and circumstances of rural school children.
