We’re living in an unprecedented age of agility, innovation, and acceleration. School systems across America are a driving force for creating educational experiences that make it possible for students to be equipped to thrive in this dynamic world of change. The need to be well-equipped and competitive is even more pronounced for young people living in remote areas with many of these areas experiencing significant economic decline. With over 20 percent of America’s K-12 students attending school located in rural communities, the need for a new vision for rural education is an imperative.
