Small and rural local education agencies face a distinct planning reality — limited administrative capacity, shifting enrollment, geographic isolation, and funding formulas that only work at scale. Mainstream master-planning guidance rarely accounts for these challenges, despite the fact that small and rural districts oversee roughly half of the country’s school buildings.
But there are ways to right-size the master-planning process. Join the NCSI and the National Council on School Facilities on Thursday, June 25th for a conversation with state and district experts who have rewritten the master-planning playbook to meet the specific needs of small and rural districts.
Who should attend this webinar: Rural and small-district superintendents, facility directors, and business officials; state facility offices and TA providers serving rural LEAs; regional service agencies (BOCES, ESDs, ESCs); federal program managers; rural-focused funders and community foundations; legislators and aides representing rural and small-town districts.
