The Rural School and Community Trust is an excellent watchdog in Washington for rural education, and often a good source of information for reporters who cover rural schools. Its latest Rural Policy Matters newsletter has several stories of interest:
Race to Top revisions slightly better for rural schools, plus a detailed analysis
Large, very-low-poverty districts benefit in Title I formula at expense of high-poverty districts large and small
Rural districts with low graduation rates are high-poverty, high-minority
Helping Students Prepare for College, with rural adaptations (registration required)
