As part of our commitment to supporting rural education, Organizations Concerned About Rural Education (OCRE) is hosting its first virtual Federal Rural Education Policy Summit for Capitol Hill on Wednesday, February 24th. During this half-day virtual event, Hill Staffers and other attendees will get an overview of the most pressing issues facing rural K-12 schools, administrators, teachers, and students as our public school system continues to recover from the pandemic.
The Summit will feature five separate 1-hour long policy sessions focused on the most pressing education-related issues facing our nation's rural communities and offer attendees resources and recommendations for how to solve these problems. If that wasn't enough to get your attention, then the Summit's line-up of high-profile speakers and experts from the Department of Census, Center on Budget Priorities, and Learning Policy Institute, are sure to convince you to join the conversation.
This event is part of the allied coalition efforts of the summits co-hosting organizations: the Association of Education Service Agencies (AESA), AASA, The School Superintendents Association, Future of Privacy Forum, Georgetown Center on Poverty and Inequality, National Association of Federally Impacted Schools, National Association of State Directors of Special Education, National Education Association, National Rural Education Advocacy Consortium, National Rural Education Association, and White Board Advisors. The Summit's hour-by-hour agenda and resources are forthcoming but will be updated in the Online Newsletter as we near the event. You can register for the event by clicking here.
