Report offers ideas for rural schools in South

A new report released by the State Collaborative On Reforming Education (SCORE), an education policy group started by former U.S. Sen. Bill Frist, offers specific ideas for improving public education in rural communities in the South. The recommendations are based on research, best practices, and input from rural communities across Tennessee and the rural Southeast.

The report is divided into six priorities with specific action items. Some action items include placing teacher trainees in rural schools, expanding virtual education programs, and convincing "philanthropists to put more money into rural districts," The Tennessean reports.
