  • The State of Education in Alabama's K-12 Rural Public Schools
    Rural Educator 32(2) Winter 2011 The State of Education in Alabama’s K-12 Rural Public Schools Ronald A. Lindahl Alabama State University The purpose of this study was to compare Alabama’s rural school districts with its city, suburban, and town districts. Descriptive statistics were used for this population study, with effect sizes calculated using Cohen’s d. Findings indicated Alabama’s rural school districts serve slightly less affluent student populations, with a lower percentage of minority students, than their counterparts. They are funded at slightly lower levels than their counterparts in other categories, yet spend approximately the same percentage of their budgets on administration and on instruction. They spend a considerably higher percentage on transportation. Although rural district dropout rates are similar to those of their counterparts, from the third to the eleventh grade, student performance on standardized examinations falls gradually behind that of the students in other locale categories.

  • A Rural District's Response to COVID-19
    Collaboration and Addressing Student Needs: A Rural District’s Response to COVID-19 Hannah Melnicoe and Priyanka Kaura COVID-19 has disrupted California’s education system in fundamental ways. Districts across the state are quickly creating strategies to serve all students, and many are designing their response around the needs of their most vulnerable students. This brief highlights the response of Mother Lode Union School District (MLUSD) to the COVID-19 pandemic, in which district staff and teachers were able to collaborate—despite the unprecedented crisis—to meet student needs. As local and state leaders respond to the unique challenges presented by the onset of COVID-19, sharing effective practices is especially critical given the scope of the crisis and the speed with which districts will need to make changes. This process of rapid response requires that leaders at all levels of the system have access to promising strategies that they can quickly and effectively implement as well as opportunities to learn from one another about what works under which conditions and for which students. This practice brief is the second in a series in partnership with Pivot Learning that profiles promising responses to the COVID-19 crisis to meet vulnerable students’ needs. June 2020 This brief highlights the response of Mother Lode Union together. This is an unprecedented time.” Teachers, staff, School District (MLUSD)1 to the COVID-19 pandemic, in and administrators were able to build on their years of which district staff and teachers were able to collaborate collaborative relationships and to focus their energies on despite this crisis to meet student needs.
